Stunning photos Cindy!
Beautiful flowers.
It certainly doesn't look like that up here yet... We don't even have leaves on the trees and the grass is still brown.

That is an azalea bush, they come in a multitude of colors, white, pinks , reds, I have white, red and a couple of different pinks, this is the only one in full bloom.

Its nice here, too. My royal purple bougainvillea is blooming nicely and my organ pipe cactus has fruited. We also have a bumper crop of dandelions in the back yard.

Oh, those are beautiful! Do they smell yummy?
My mom's daffodils are coming up in the yard, they are so pretty. My fav is roses and tulips.
Love your pics.

Gorgeous! What a lovely taste of Spring! My azaleas are beginning to bloom now too but the iris are still just little shoots of green starting to pop through the earth. The lilys are doing splendidly but haven't bloomed yet and the dogwoods will be in full bloom by the weekend for certain. I have cut my grass already twice this season (the first time I went to cut it, I just had to go out there and cut the tops off of all the little wild onions!) as I put down grass seed last Fall and it is coming in strong and green!

Thanks for sharing - it seems to me that I must have been waiting all Winter just for Spring to arrive. I love this time of year.

Y'all are welcome, and Gaye, my irises never die down! It's warm enough here that they stay up and green year-round, just put up new bloom-shoots every year!
