That flowers so wonderful, pure poetry! Hannah I wish a good week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leovi, I'm really enjoying the spring flowers after waiting so long for winter to be over.
DeleteLove those intense colours, super close-ups. Cheers, jean.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jean, I hope Hugh is doing well, and that autumn will be a fruitful time for you.
DeleteBeautiful flowers, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hans, your Mandarin duck was so exquisite.
DeleteVery beautiful flowers ! Spring is such a nice season !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors and textures! I especially like the Victorian laced primula. it does take some planning and help from mother NAture to have the continuous bloom or periods of evergreen textures in the garden!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane, I've been gardening here for 20 years so I've had time to gradually add more flowers and fill in holes in the blooming calendar. I enjoyed your artistic seascapes.
DeleteThe primulas are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gunilla, I'm really enjoying spring after waiting through the long bleak winter, I hope the cold and snow have gone away for you too.
DeleteWonderful Spring flowers in all these beautiful colors. Amazing !
ReplyDeleteBest regards, Synnöve
Thanks, Synnove, I liked your red larch flowers, I'd never seen them before.
DeleteWow. Glad to see spring has hit your part of town. It looks amazing. Thanks for the lovely pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lady Lilith. It is always amazing to me what new flower surprises I will find in the garden. Some plants are such givers!
DeleteYes to the awakening of spring!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm really enjoying all the flowers, so many are so reliable. I liked your artistic treatment of the flower and fence.
DeleteThanks, Karla, I enjoyed your enhancements of the adorable boy's photo.
ReplyDeletethe last two flower photos are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sillarit, the Victorian Laced Primula is one of my seedling successes. I don't seem to see the same success from the Primula varieties I started from seed last year.;-(
DeleteHannah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I love the beautiful primroses that you have in your garden. I think the pulmonary a is very similar to one that I have.

Thanks, I'm really enjoying the primroses, and the Pulmonaries are getting bigger and more full of blooms all the time.
DeleteWow! So beautiful spring flower photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Birgitta!
DeleteI love that primrose...reminds me of my childhood somehow...maybe my grandmother had it in her garden. Lovely work. Thanks for sharing on Mandarin Orange Monday...and sorry I am late...have been away for a few days.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lorik. I was hoping to find a program for my mac to do art effects but it didn't open again after downloading, so back to the drawing board.
Deleteare they in bloom already? It will take another month I think before they bloom where I live.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Pacific Northwest has a climate moderated by the ocean so as long as the prevailing winds come off the Pacific and not down from Canada, we have warmer weather than the Northeastern US for the same latitude.
DeleteHannah I love this idea...As I snap photos I think I will also make sure I note when things are blooming and how the succession of bloom goes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna, I enjoy trying to fill in the holes in blooming, I've been gardening here for 20 years now so I have lots blooming most of the time except for the winter months. Photos do help to keep track of bloom times.
