The Flowers Bloom

The days are finally warmer and longer.
We had a little drizzle during the last two days.
Today, the sun is out, and the warm temperature is back.
I spent a moment in my garden and I have taken some photos of the flowers that are blooming.
There are a few new hyacinths coming out from the soil and many primroses in different colors.
The birds are busy making their nests.
I feel that father winter is saying farewell.
Do you have flowers blooming?

I live very close to the Lake of Como, this is a beautiful area, but it's the North of Italy and it's still pretty cold. The best month to visit is from mid May until the end of June. July and August are too hot. Let me know if you come and if I can help.

It seems like most everything in my yard is not blooming right now. In February my Daffodils, and Forsythia bloomed. The only thing I have blooming at the moment is Dogwood Tree.

None in our yard but we don't have spring flowers planted. The daffs are almost dying off they've been in bloom for a few weeks. The butterfly bush has it's leaves and the maple trees are budding.

@AbbyGreenhill This is exactly what I fear, mid-March is too early, we can have snow until mid April.

@LadyDuck Several years ago mid-April everything was in full bloom and we had a hard freeze on Easter. It killed all the flowering trees, most never came back.

our fortune plants bloomed last December. This morning, I saw some buds sprouting again. I asked my sister why and she was also wondering. Maybe because our climate is changing from cold to warm and back to cold again. Our bougainvillea and roses and orchids are also starting to bloom.

@ridingbet I love the orange and the pink ones more than the most common colour, but all the bougainvillea are beautiful.

@LadyDuck we have many colors of bougainvillea here in our lawn; in fact, I put them as my picture here too.

Your flowers are very pretty! I haven't seen anything yet but it is slowly warming up. It is 3 C today. It shouldn't be too long.

@LadyDuck We'll just have to be happy looking at pictures of flowers and be patient here as it is snowing right now.

@Jessicalynnt For the moment the roses only have small purple leaves that soon will turn green and then I will see blooms.

@brokenbee Switzerland is a cold country, orchids grow in hot and humid countries, not here.

@LadyDuck Really? But why? Hmmmm Yes, we have different varieties of orchids here in the Philippines. We used to have around 5 different varieties at home. We lost them when the house was renovated and my mother was out of the country. No one was here to take care of those orchids.

No flowers blooming yet. I have some but very few that will be popping up soon. I'll have to wait for my irises to come up. They are lovely. So are the Lily of the Valley

@LadyDuck I love the smell that all of the flowers emit, but can't get close enough to enjoy them because they trigger my allergies. So, I will just have to enjoy their beauty from afar.

A few spring flowers are still working their way up from the earth. There is new growth I see, but I've no clue what to expect there. It could be from some bulbs I planted in December, or something that I had to replant after someone accidentally pulled them out. I'd forgotten about planting bulbs, though, so I'm thinking it's one of those.
It's been raining off and on today and it's about fifty-one F with strong winds. It was supposed to be sunny this afternoon and while we've seen the sun off and on, mostly we have a lot of cloud cover. But, at least it's not snowing.

@LadyDuck It's been cloudy here most of the week with periodic rain and sun, but mostly windy and cloudy. It's a little too chilly yet here for blooms, other than the crocus which I have one or two unless they got dug up by mistake.
