A Mosaic of Garden Flowers
Having just returned home from a short Spring break, I was keen to see what flowers had opened in our absence. It was lovely to discover that both the pink and the cream Snakeshead fritillaries had finally opened. Having checked my images from last year they are now only one week later than in previous years - it appears that spring may be finally catching up with herself.

Hello Rosemary, What a nice welcome home you got! I understand that Spring has been pretty late all over the U.S., but about now is when many Spring wildflowers are out and I always used to enjoy looking for them. In fact, I have been seeking them in my mind, and sometimes looking them up on the internet to remind myself of their charms. You have a nice and colorful selection in your beautiful arrangement.

Hello Jim - I do hope that you have been able to satisfy your desire to see some
Deleteimages of your native Spring wildflowers - I would feel the same too if I was in similar circumstances.
Fortunately, spring is catching up with us. Lovely floral collage. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was surprised when I looked at last years flower images, as I thought that this year the flowers were much later, but apparently I was wrong.
DeleteSuch beautiful blooms! They are so lovely all together in the photos.
ReplyDeleteI think spring has arrived later here then it ever has before. We have been having winter weather for weeks. I am in the mid-south too.
The weather seems to have been very contrary during this past winter and in so many countries too.
DeleteSo pretty, better late than never.
ReplyDeleteFlowers are so uplifting.
DeleteSo gorgeous! I need floral beauty like that right now!
ReplyDeleteFlowers to tend to have a positive impact on how we are feeling.
DeleteStunning Rosemary ...
ReplyDeleteSpring can deliver such an array of flowers and their colours are amazing.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan - the colours are lovely at this time of year - lots of baby blue and baby pink.
DeleteA beautiful splash of colours!
ReplyDeleteThey are a very welcome and positive sight.
DeleteWhat a lovely selection. Looking forward to seeing more lovely blooms as Spring unfolds.
ReplyDeleteBoth pretty, and soft colours here at the moment Betty.
DeleteLovely and colourful.

DeleteLovely colours to see on a rainy day here, but now the sun is shining :)
ReplyDeleteYes, give me sunshine everytime.
DeleteWhat an exuberant display to welcome you home!
ReplyDeleteIt is always surprising just how much more is flowering than you imagine when you take a stroll around the garden.
DeleteNice selection. The season of cream and colour.
ReplyDeleteAlmost like ice cream colours reminding me of those old fashioned neapolitan slices.
DeleteDear Rosemary, Love, Love, Love them all. I'm still waiting for Spring to come my way.
ReplyDeleteDear Gina - Spring seems to have taken forever to come to fruition this year, I am sure that yours will soon be with you too.
DeleteBreathtaking Rosemary! It's always exciting after being away to see what wonders Nature has brought to the garden in our absence.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is one the best things about returning home, you notice changes through refreshed and renewed eyes.
DeleteDearest Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteWhat a floral applaus by Mother Nature!
Yes, photo data is a great reference to the blooming time of previous years.
Hugs,
Mariette

DeleteSuch a pleasure to the eyes, gorgeous spring flowers ! These days plants just kind of explode in the garden, everywhere something is jumping from the ground.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely time, but just need a bit more warmth here.
DeleteBeautiful collage.
ReplyDeleteSpring is really late here too, but it will come in any case.
Hugs
It is good to shrug off the winter season.
DeleteWhat a beautiful, colourful selection!

DeleteWhy do i paint when nature does it so much better. Good inspiration though.
ReplyDeleteI think that your painting is inspired and a joy to see.
DeleteDear Rosemary,
ReplyDeletethis is a lovely arrangement of flowers! There seems to bloom a lot in your garden! Here in Vienna spring has been catching up too. The last few weeks it has been super warm. Every day about 25 degrees and a lot of sun.
Happy spring!
Best wishes,
Lisa
Dear Lisa - thank you for your visit. The garden really has come to life now - lots of wonderful softs pinks, mauves, blues, and creams. Yesterday was really very hot, and hoping for the same again today.
