Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?

Sounds beautiful!

I stopped and took a photo of some daffs.
The circular bed on the left is mainly tulips with hyacinths. Left of that just out of shot is an old bed with hyacinths still flowering through the grass.

We have a dogwood tree in our yard. Somehow, neither of us remembered that! We are actually wondering if it didn’t bloom last year, if that’s possible? Anyway, it’s pink, which is lovely. I’ll try to grab a pic later.

The cherry blossoms in the neighborhood were not very impressive this year, the weather did them in I think. They were still pretty but not as spectacular as last spring. But they are all done.

Now the crabapples are blooming, really gorgeous. (They seem more robust than the cherry trees). The red bud trees are blooming too. And lots of cheery daffodils.

My gooseberries are almost settled into their new home, out of the large pots I had them in and into these new raised beds:

It's kind of cold out today but sunny, so I'll try to finish filling that bed up with compost and soil.

Beautiful day here

We planted a dogwood on our parking strip last fall. It looked like twigs when the neighborhood magnolias and cherry trees were blooming. Now it’s time!

Enchanting.

Beautiful!

Lovely shade of green. If cut how long will they last in a vase?

[AdagioM]

I don’t know how long they’d last, except that my cat would probably chew it! So I don’t bring cut flowers inside. Sometimes they grace the table on my front porch!

Greetings from Seville! Early Spring here and flowers are just beginning to bloom. Took these pictures at the Pilates Palace this morning

[AdagioM]

Stunning, Steve! I would love to visit Seville someday.

First daffodils, then yellow fields of oil -seed-rape, now joined by verges of golden dandelions

Our garden has suddenly come to life; looking left to right:

Thanks, though the first thing you'd notice is that 'indefatigable collie blight' has turned our lawn into brown powder

The early wild flowers are back. It makes me happy to see them return year after year.

Yellow Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum)

Red Trillium (Trillium erectum)

The trout lily and trillium are lovely! We used to see large areas of trillium in Door County around this time of year, though they were white.

Shades of green in wtg's very shady garden. With a flower or two thrown in.

Hosta 'June' (foreground) with @adagiom 's favorite anemone invader:

Past prime, Virginia bluebells, anemones, and Hosta 'Golden Tiara':

Various hostas, plus a primrose that I don't recall the botanical name of:

Pulmonaria, more hostas and anemones, and a mushroom sculpture (present from my Mom, years ago - there are two others of different sizes in my yard):
