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

Beautiful day here

Looking N/N.W over golden fields of oil-seed-rape, from Kirk Merrington

And N/NE with Durham Cathedral Towers just visible above the centre of the white building

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.

Absolutely 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):

Future gooseberry jam:

You are way ahead of us, wtg. We are at the daffodil stage.

[wtg]

Nice daffodils, @bernard !

Meanwhile, I am finishing up swapping out my old cedar garden beds and installing the metal ones. I had two cedar ones, a 3x8 and a 4x8. The 3x8 still has some life left in it:

There's a good bit of rot in the bigger one. That lower part of the post is hanging on by a thread. But I figure someone could make it into a 4x4 bed if they can't figure out a way to compensate for the rotting post...

I put a free listing up on craigslist and someone is coming to get them tomorrow!
