Here we are in Mid-April ,and the daffodils are dominant

No where as much as in the catio yard! Don’t they just look amazing? I really do need to split a few of these clumps up this year, and spread them around a bit more.

Regular readers will know that I have quite the collection of daffodils (they definitely are my favourite spring flower).

These are just the ones in bloom right now, there are many, many more to come!

But it’s not just daffies.

We’ve got a couple tulips – the first a small orange one, and the second, an even smaller species tulip (the original “natural” tulip the ones we know and love were developed from), The snakehead fritillary is also coming alive. It’s actually a type of lily so now that it’s up, I have to check it for the dreaded red Asian lily beetle! It’s worth it though – those little nodding blooms are so pretty.

Every so often, when the wind blows the right way, you get a waft of the hyacinths amazing perfume. I don’t have a lot of hyacinths, but that pink clump has multiplied nicely. I can probably split it up this year too.

And last, I couldn’t resist this gorgeous pot of pansies at Walmart. They had them out front by the doors, and I had the one I wanted picked out from my parking spot. It was just calling to me.

One thing is for sure, Spring has FINALLY sprung!
