A Flower a Day for February .

Found this one hiding under a bush in my brother's and sister's yard last spring while we were helping them with some yard work. Just beautiful, no? A Flower a Day for February .

You won't mind if I post Tulip pix for the next few days, will you? A Flower a Day for February .

Since everyone liked the bee photo so well, I thought I'd post another....

A Sign of Spring!

I'm often obsessed with flowers. Especially spring flowers. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . 366 Snaps project discussion for March 25 .

Last night's cold snap pretty much did in our few remaining tulips. But the apple blossoms survived. I'll take it.

A couple decades ago I planted a Lily-and-Tulip garden behind the garage; in the spring it looked like this and in the summer like this . But eventually we figured out that high-density-bulb configuration was impossible to weed properly, so Joan annexed it for her veggie garden and we distributed a few of the flowers to other beds. Twelve or fifteen years ago. But we missed a few of each. For a while we had a couple tulips growing in the lawn; there are still one or two hiding under the forsythia. And this one, all by itself, growing today dead center where Joan will be planting beans and broccoli and tomatoes a month or so down the road. Sure is pretty.

A Lily Tulip. Actually, a bunch of 'em. Like everything else this spring, these guys are several weeks early.

That's our first tulip of the year. Somehow Joan's managed to transform a rather ugly flower into this interesting image. Not sure how, but I like it. Camera: Olympus Stylus 410 Photo by Joan Bennett

Since we've still a few Tulips in the yard, I thought I'd share one more as we wait for the Irises to open.

Bought a package of tulips on a whim last autumn, and planted those soon after in the garden I call "Street Corner." I was thinking they'd all look like this, but most of them turned out to be a different varietal. Apparently this was a packaging mixup. Not regretting the purchase, but definitely wishing I'd gotten more of these guys...

We used to have a tulip-and-lily garden behind the garage, but long ago we converted it to vegetables. During the conversion some of the tulips got donated to neighbors, others were transplanted, and a few managed to migrate on their own. This is one of the self-migrating plants. It lives under the forsythia, only a few yards from its original home. You really need to know it's there to see it, though....
