Trees and floral mysteries
This week brought a lovely warm spell to my home, coaxing out the first fresh green leaves on a young tree in the backyard. The bud burst has begun!
While happily trying my best to capture some images of these first leaves for you, I stumbled upon another early springtime wonder: the croci. But they aren’t at all where I expected them to be! I found the purple crocus popping up out of some leaf litter just beside the driveway. The surrounding greenery is some type of ground cover, the name of which I do not yet know.
In the mean time, I have huge patches of swelling flower bulbs just aching to open – and I have no idea what they are. My best guess is that they might be some type of small daffodil. It would be grand if they were hyacinth, but the greens look too short. Then again, at this point, I’d believe ANYTHING is possible! Stay tuned!

Croci are a really sweet little flower, and these pictures make me wish that Spring was peaking through a bit more here in the Midwest. Sorry to break it to you, but picture #2 are not hyacinths, those are definitely daffodils!

ReplyDeleteThe trilliums are just beginning to bloom here, and there are some violets sprinkled across my lawn.
Swelling flowers, buds bursting!

Looks like spring in Viet Nam for me, Great. These pics give us a peaceful feeling.
ReplyDeleteYes! Flowers! Spring is finally here.
ReplyDeleteCrystal, you were totally right - daffodils indeed!
ReplyDeleteManu, merci pour vos souhaites!
Trailhead, I ADORE trilliums! There are such magical flowers!!!
JB, I love your flower-chant... and I agree... it's so much fun to learn the common names of flowers. Have you ever looked at the flower fairies books composed of the work by Cecily Mary Barker? I learned several common flower names in those pages that I had not previously known!
Barbara, thank you for visiting (as always), and for your kind thoughts. I'm glad you enjoy exploring my blog as much as I enjoy creating it!
Godknows, I love to see the seasons in new places. Perhaps I'll see some images of spring in Viet Nam on your blog?
UltimateWriter, no matter how often the weather threatens a last hurrah of snow, I now know that spring has truly arrived!
