Now that the weather is warming up and the soil is too the bulbs have been coming up fast and furious in the garden. I thought I would show you a few of them today.
This is a macro shot of the Emperor Tulip that I planted last fall. I loved the variegation of the outside petals.
This is a bicolour daffodil. The peachy and soft white petals are so pretty to me.
The dwarf iris has a lemon scent. I found a clump of these by the side of the road many years ago and brought them home. They are easy to grow and I have divided the patch many times as well as given clumps away.
This red tulip is so iridescent that it is hard to photograph. The colour is spectacular though.
One of my all time favourite spring bloomers is the pulsatilla. I have them in shades of deep pink like this one, a white variety and a purple variety. The flowers are blissful but the seedheads are a photographers delight.
Thanks for visiting. I enjoyed showing you some of my spring blooms. Have a great weekend. Valerie
I will attempt to join Tootsie for Fertilizer Friday and Laura for Macro Friday if blogger is behaving itself today.
