Only a month or so more ’till spring

Chionodoxa

I can’t wait until Spring arrives.

I was just saying on my gardening blog how protective all the snow we’ve gotten this year is for the garden, but still … enough is enough. I’m ready for nicer weather.

I miss seeing pretty flowers like these lovely Chionodoxa that bloom from mid spring to early summer.

Delicate Iris I also miss delicate miniature irises such as the one that I’ve included to the right.

Do you have a favorite spring flower? Perhaps tulips? Crocus’, Hyacinths, Muscari, snow drops, daffodils, iris, helebores, bleeding hearts or one of the many other kinds of spring flowers?

Do one of these flowers get your heart racing in anticipation of spring and the good weather to come?

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information. GTS participants remember to check in at As the Garden Grows each week so that we’ll know you made a new post!

    Yes, tulips! Í have had a few posts already but they were taken few years back. I am waiting eagerly for them to spring up. I have never seen an iris in person yet.lol. But I love them in painting like Van Gogh’s. Wonderful shots, makes me want to go and buy some. =) good day!

    I know what you mean by enough winter already. I’m waiting for some wild Marsh Marigolds to emerge so I can bring some home.

    I saw your mottos
    Mine is “OOPS”

    We’re all anxious for spring! I can’t wait to see if my dutch iris and parrot tulips come back. I’m already checking daily, just in case, to see if I can spot a crocus ;~)

    Those Chionodoxa are very pretty!

    I’d taken a winter break from GTS, Trish. I’ve posted today but posting may still be sporatic until things start to bloom again. I’ve missed you guys, though. It’s hard to find time to visit everyone!

    Spring must be on it’s way with colours like those.

    The Chionodoxa is such a pretty flower. I love the color. Spring is here for Arizonans. Wildflowers are blooming, some cacti have bloomed and the Aloes all have flowers opening. Lucky me–at least for now. Then—summer comes! Drat.
    Happy GTS,
    Aiyana

    Gorgeous, it looks very sunny where you are. My heart feels the excitement of spring when I spot the first snowdrops!

    Happy GTS!

    Gizelle Iris’s are beautiful. I love the small and dwarf varieties best as opposed to the large German Iris’. I’m hoping that once this snow melts away in a week or two that I might start to see some signs of spring … If that happens I’ll of course be hoping that we don’t have a really cold snap after the snows all gone!

    Wiseacre I visited your site and saw your lovely flowers. I hope you’re able to transplant the Marsh Marigolds easily enough.
