Isn’t strange how the rest of the world seems to be moving so fast and yet, the spring season so slow this year? It almost feels like the tortoise and the hare story with spring around this area.
We got off to a rocket start and everything started blooming super early. Then, it’s as if, oh wait, let’s take a nap. SIGH.
Seems things are starting to shift back to the spring and summer pace again at last. Just a few photos to share today. (I’m back to working this afternoon and tomorrow, then I get the weekend and maybe a few days next week to myself).
Orange tulips are still going strong:
However, the next flowers are preparing for their time in the spotlight:
Do I see some purple getting ready to burst through?
Maybe I’ll be sharing the full flowering purple alliums by next week. And look, here comes an Easter lily as well! Planted from a store plant many years ago.
Last one to show, a rose bud! Thought for sure this rose bush had given it up after last summer’s drought but surprise! Here it is again.
Today, I must go into work around noon. So, not as many garden plans as I’d hoped. Probably just a trip to a small local place to see if she’s open yet. And if so, perhaps, a herb or too for the backdrop for the purple alliums. It’s usually done by now.

Hello, my friend. Yes. You are so right! I feel as if winter was forever ago, and yet spring isn’t really here yet! I look forward to your spring photos!
Thank you! Hopefully, I’ll have a chance to get out and take a few more spring photos this weekend.
LOVE these tulips! And you have certainly hit the nail on the head. We’re almost to May and my March blooms have just started! Hope you’re having a GREAT week.
Thank you! I don’t remember picking out orange tulips but I’m glad I did. Definitely, looking for more orange next fall. It’s a nice spring color. Hope your March blooms turn into true spring weather for you soon. Happy Weekend!
It’s interesting that it’s the same in Romania, a cold and rainy spring after last year’s drought.
I hope that spring will really get going soon.
Yes, mostly we are having cold here. Even today on May 1, it’s cold out. So strange. Usually, by this time of year, I’d be in t-shirts but long-sleeves again today. Happy May!
Happy May to you too! Hugs!
