Ah, Spring...

[sublimatedangel]

I've been going on and on about loving the weather and everything in bloom, yes? Because that's wonderful. And kwizbit asked for pictures, which I love to post every year anyhow, so expect lots of photos, spread across a few posts.


Camellias! I also have some that are a paler pink, but they're pretty much done for the season, since they're more of a winter flower. The darker rose ones and the rose/white ones will be gone in the next week or two.








Most of my violets are the simple purple ones, and they've already bloomed and gone. I have a few that are later spring bloomers (and again in fall) that live under the camellias, so here is one of those:








Wisteria, which I love:







Next up, we've got a peony. Our winters aren't always cold enough to make them bloom, and it's too early anyhow, so just a bit of leaf right now. Then we've got potato bush/vine or whatever. I keep debating about whether to keep it or rip it out. And then a wee little asparagus shoot - we've got a couple patches of it, though I never remember to harvest them when they're young.







And lastly... technically it belongs to the neighbors, but they've got a few little fig trees and you can see the baby fruit already - so cute.

Thank you for posting this!! I needed some nice spring things to look at, as the leaves are still not on the trees here yet.. Soon though, I hope! I also saw the second post too. Really appreciate this. I don't know why, but pictures of flowers/spring things, especially ones that are real, and not snagged from the internet, just make my day :)

Love you, sorry I haven't been commenting much. I'll try to get on that asap :)

Oops, very late reply to your comment! But glad you liked them... I have more to put up when I have a chance... I love sharing all the prettiness when it's in bloom.
