(Dande)Lions and Tiger(lilies)s and Bear(ded Irises)s

Oh, my!

The area nurseries are opening today. Even though it is still too early to plant much of what I want, I’m going to stop by just to see flowers and colors and sniff the air.

I’ve been checking my yard and the lilacs are loaded with blooms this year, yippie! I planted an azalea last fall and it has bright pink blooms ready to open. The hydrangeas all have leaf buds and the day lilies and poppies are pushing up green leaves. The peonies are pushing up red shoots. All this means I didn’t kill everything! The plants survived my care! Hurrah!

I’ve got to plant some daffodils for next year, just a couple so that I can see their bright little faces in the morning. They look so cheerful.

Happy spring.
