Spring Flowers
The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.

I love trumpet honeysuckle, even though that’s more of a late spring/summer I guess. Iris is also a fav, I’ve already seen a few this season. Plus of course purple heather – that’s hard to find here in CT though!

I love irises as well (although I like the Japanese, not the bearded ones).

Beautiful pictures! I think my favorite is the cherry blossom. In particular the Yoshino Cherry, but there are so many great flowers this time of year it seems unfair to choose just one! ;)

Cherries and Crabapples are great, you’re right. It is difficult to choose one isn’t it.

i love cherry blossoms as well, but tulips are my spring favorite. every year i say i’m going to go to the tuilip festival in holland, mi but i never end up being able to!

I’ll jump in here. I’ve given up on tulips, like so many other things, because of the deer but they don’t eat helleborus so I have all kinds everywhere and I love ’em. They’re the earliest color and they last a long time.

The deer eat my tulips as well, I also really like Hellebores but I don’t have any in the garden. But since the deer don’t eat yours, they’ll be a good plant for Chiot’s Run.

In my yard I know spring is really here when our plum tree starts to fill the air with its scent! I wait for that every year- after that things really start growing :). When we move, I’d love to have Hellebore- I’ve seen such great photos of them this year, everywhere!
