My parents are lucky to have an orchard right at the end of their street. Fortunately it's considered the end of Keizer city limits, so we'll be enjoying the apple and cherry blooms for many years to come!
Some more Daffodils I picked:
I had to show you my new Lemon Thyme! It's just so darn cute!

I think they're all cute! Those daffs are lovely, are the trumpets pink? The blooming trees is a sight for sore eyes. Thank you for sharing.

The trumpets are a pale peachy color. I can't wait till the iris fields a mile up the road start blooming. Our town is considered the iris capitol of the world and we even have an iris festival.

Lucky indeed, what a gorgeous view!
Wow, can sure tell the difference in just an hour's drive south, whew! My bro is in North Portland and his garden always blooms like that, way before mine.

Great looking orchard. I like your lemon thyme. (not knowing anything about this one) does it smell like lemon? Those double colored daff's are sooo pretty. Thanks for posting.

Petunia- it does smell like sweet lemons! It's great fresh on cold pasta salads.

Camellias infront of Robbie's new house last night. I should have taken this during the day, but I spaced it. Sorry about the flash.
