Perhaps especially so when you’re very lazy about uploading new images! Hopefully, I’ll get these in order, but… 😀

Mini daffs in full bloom. 03-24-19

Buds on the big daffs. 03-24-19

As usual, the old lady’s one purple hyacinth is first in bloom. My poor hyacinths aren’t doing terribly well, but most are still alive in some capacity. 03-29-19

Canadian columbine. I can’t wait for this to bloom; it’s just so PRETTY! 03-30-19

Canadian ginger is up out of the mulch. It does bloom, but the flowers look something like pipevine, and aren’t pretty. The leaves, however, are beautiful, and this stuff is tough! 03-30-19

Time to take off the pond cover; this clover wants out! 03-30-19

Flowers are sort of weird looking, but I’m still glad I hunted down native pachysandra. I’d assume bees like it; these look like bee-friendly flowers. 03-30-19

Beginnings of flowers on the yellow honeysuckle. It has lots of leaves, but I go out there so infrequently in winter that I don’t know whether those are last year’s leaves it kept, or whether they’re new leaves that just started early. Either way, this is one of my favourite plants, and the bees will be as happy as I to see those pretty golden yellow flowers. Not long now (weather co-operating, of course). 03-30-19

I have my fingers crossed because in the five years we’ve been at Parview, none of the old lady’s tulips have ever bloomed, but this year, I might get to at least see what colour the ones with the lighter green leaves are. I think it’s probably the “green debris” and leaves and stuff that I toss over there and let rot; the soil is hard clay, and nothing grew over there, and even cutting back the osage-orange didn’t help, but now I’ve got a little bit of grass, and some daffodils and wild penstemon that volunteered, and a few other things. Anyway, if I had to guess, these tulips are either yellow, or (as all of her flowers were) white, but I’d love to see for myself. 04-01-19

This isn’t really a spring picture; it’s just a cool mantis ootheca that I found in the Sox’s nyjer seed. I have no idea what species it is because nyjer isn’t grown in North America, and I’ll never find out because even if this wasn’t dried out, it’s been heat-treated along with the seeds, but it was still an interesting find.
