It's spring here!
Yes, it truly is. And this daisy-like flower just opening out to receive the rays of the sun is proof. I'm quite sure this Grecian windflower (Anemone blanda) has never bloomed this early in my gardens before, so I am amazed!

ReplyDeleteNice that Spring is showing her stuff there. I was tired of all the snow and ice. ( I am not a cold weather person )
ReplyDeleteLovely shot - your recent spate of warm weather should give a kick start to spring!
ReplyDeleteCrazy weather and you are so lucky to have this treat to look at. No flowers in my yard yet.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, SPRING! What a lovely color, too.
ReplyDeleteI bought some anenomes to plant. The directions on the package said they go nicely with dahlias, so I am planning on putting them out at the same time. I hope they'll turn out. This one is beautiful! I haven't gotten any flowers yet, but things are turning green. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful evidence that spring is here...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Isn't this weather crazy!
ReplyDeleteA fine image, EG. I don't grow these plants, so I dn't have a history of when they start to flower.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot! The colour is beautiful.
