foto Friday - Flowers

Spring is revving up nicely with three days of temperatures in the 23-24 C (73-75F) range.
With the temperatures set to go right down to zero (32) in the next few days and some snow forecast, the spring blooms are making hay while the sun shines.

Cyclamen hiding beneath a large fern

White and Yellow narcissus

Wood anemones and Grape hyacinth

This blue Hyacinth is now naturalised in the large tub and comes back every year. The mixed daffodils and tulips have all turned out shades of yellow somehow.

One of my wife's favourites Fritillaria Meleagris; great plants for wet soil.

The all time favourite of people from Devon (cue Mrs J) the native primrose. This one is thriving in deep shade under the leaves of a large foxglove.

White alyssum survived the winter in a hanging basket on the wall behind the boiler.

Cherry blossom is really evocative of Spring.

Great series of pictures! I enjoyed them all, especially the Daffodils.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Wonderful spring selection of flowers there Bond. I love the pretty fritillaria too. All flowers are special and beautiful in their own way.

I love hyacinths, but they usually come up and are spent by the time I spend any time outside to enjoy them, so I ended up cutting them to have in the house. Then one year, they just didn't come up. I do have some little grape ones out near the lilac bush, but they haven't appeared yet this year.
I enjoyed your pictures.

So beautiful :- )

I'm not familiar with Fritillaria Meleagris - I liked it immediatedly and looked for further information online. I love its shape and striking chequered petals as well as drooping habit - beautiful.
