A-Z took up all April, so these are a bit old.

Pretty pink flower near the fence.
Not good at botany but the flower buffs on Facebook identified these as hyacinths. They smell heavenly!
No idea what this is, but it's white and it's cool.
Pink hyacinths in the front yard.
Daffies in the front yard.
A patch of grape hyacinths.
The glass hummingbird on the small chimes.
PJM Rhododendron. I learned that this hybrid rhodie was first cultivated in this state!

I don't generally like to shoot flowers with the flash, but it was a rainy morning and the flash really helped to show the water droplets.

I love lilacs. The entire side of the yard has purple lilac bushes and it smelled heavenly!
They don't look' odd' to me, just very beautiful :0)
ReplyDeleteThe dark pink ones are azaleas - rhododendrons' smaller cousins. The cluster looks like a viburnum, also fragrant, but not as much as the hyacinth - grow those inside and it can be overpowering!
ReplyDeleteI hust love daffies, but the prize goes to lilac. Proust had the smell of the madeleine cake to bring back memories, I have lilac.
Gorgeous photos.I love the shot of the sky it looks like snow.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful collection of photos! Are all of these flowers in you yard? Lucky you, it must be beautiful.

Can't beat a good old daffodil, but being Welsh I'm biased :)
ReplyDeleteSome lovely shots JoJo, especially the bluebells.
You've really got a gift, JoJo; I couldn't take such amazing pics to save my life (probably). The flowers sure were purty, but I like the cloud pics the best.
