|
Our apricot trees are blooming and the daffodils are starting to bloom. So, here are a few pictures.
That's all I have blooming at the moment. The bleeding heart are about 4 or 5 inches high but not ready to bloom and the tulips and Iris are growing but not ready to bloom. We'll see what comes next when it comes. dooley

Adorable apricot flowers, dooley, and lovely daffodils too. I'm looking forward to whatever comes next from you. I can't wait to have more daffodils.

Thanks for sharing Dooley. Spring still feels a lifetime away here with a few feet of snow left to melt.

Nice fotos, Dooley. It looks like spring is getting underway there. Those blossoms look so nice against the blue backdrop of the sky.
I hope that it stays warm so that you get more things to take piccies of.

It's so good to see everything beginning to flower again after a long, dark and wet winter (well at least it has been here.) I love to see blossom on trees and I hope mine won't be long it showing theirs.

That is beautiful. I would love to have an apricot tree too.
They do put up a great show when flowering en mass like that. Really announcing springtime. 
If that is just your apricots and daffies, then your yard will look most beautiful this spring .

Beautiful pics, Dooley.
I have a customer who took a job out in Arizona, and just recently relocated there. She was talking about the "javelinas running rampart" through peoples yards, and it is against the law to kill them. First of all . . . I had to ask what they were, then I was very amazed. (They have one to represent a Nascar product. . . but I have never seen a real one.)

Here in Arizona if you want a garden and flowers, you have to fence your yard. They have what's called "Open range" laws. Wildlife and cattle can run anywhere it's not fenced. Sometimes they even get into your yards. The javalina (pigs) can dig under if they really want to get in to something. Here in town they mostly tip over trash cans. dooley
