Three reasons why I love springtime
in the Pacific Northwest.

| Crocus blooms have disappeared since I took this photo. Notice the bee in the lower right-hand corner? |

| Hyacinth are going strong. |

| And we'll have camellias any day now. |

I'm not certain, but I don't think we have any of these flowers here in my part of Texas. Too hot, I think, for these beauties.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing them!
Although I write with a Texas twang and I'm a Texas native, I now live in the Pacific Northwest. I don't remember seeing these blooms when I lived in Southeast Texas, but I do remember seeing camellias when I lived in North Texas.
DeleteBeautiful pictures! Makes me anxious for Spring...it's a little late coming around this year :)
ReplyDeleteWe've had a mild winter, but I still am delighted when the first springtime blooms appear.
DeleteAren't you lucky. We still have a bit more snow than those lovely's could handle. I don't think we have any camellias at all, too cold.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see that spring is on its way.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteWhat beautiful flowers! I'm anxiously looking forward to the day when those appear here!
ReplyDeleteNice photos of the blossoms. I am waiting for my rose bushes to bloom but it hasn't been warm enough yet. Hopefully they will burst out in bloom before too long.
ReplyDeleteMy rose bushes are just starting to have leaves on them. It will be quite a while before there are blooms.
DeleteThanks for sharing those lovely signs of spring!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Nothing in our yard is blooming yet (but my Christmas Cactus is flowering...go figure!), but I see buds out there! Spring is coming!
ReplyDeleteOh! I am dreaming of the days when we'll see crocus and hyacinths ... no camellias this far North though ... forsythia though and early rhododendrons! I may go out and cut some forsythia to force this week ... I'm THAT starved for Springtime!
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see flowers. No sign of them yet here in Chicago. I have to go to the Flower and Garden Show this week if I want my dose of spring!
