The weather is ... well, typical Vancouver Island spring weather; sunshine, snow, rain, freezing wind, fog, sun warm on your back; all in quick succession, changing from moment to moment.
But the spring flowers just keep on trucking. Daffodils bloom under my kitchen window, crocuses and hyacinths and Johnny-jump-ups beside the carport, forsythia over the lawn and up and down the street. And I saw a bee foraging among the plum blossoms.
Crocuses and hyacinths. And the first leaves of the next wave: bluebells. |
Forsythia against a briefly blue sky. |
Zeroing in on a pair of crocuses. Love that purple! |
At the edge of the woods, red-flowering currant is coming right along. |
The first salmonberry flowers should be opening in a week or so. Waiting is hard.
Pero las flores de la temporada siguen como si nada. Bajo la ventana de mi cocina, florecen los narcisos; al lado de la cochera, los jacintos, las pensamientos, los crocus. Arriba, la forsitia se extiende hacia el cielo. Y vi una abeja buscando polen en las flores del ciruelo.
Fotos:
- Jacintos y crocus, y las primeras hojas de las campanillas.
- Forsitia.
- Unos crocus blancos con violeta oscuro. Me encanta este color.
- Al borde del bosque, las primeras hojas de Ribes sanguineum toman el sol.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
