I planted plenty of Spring flowers last Fall. I've been rewarded this Spring with beautiful colors.

The azealeas have been there for a few years now. Their color is definitely more vibrant this year.

This bed was created last year. I packed it full of bulbs. Everything is blooming in stages. Here you can see hyacinth with daffies. The tulips are getting ready to open.

Here the tulips have opened. They're my first tulips and I'm pretty pleased with them.

Irises and allium are getting ready....:D I've also got a rose bush that's ready to bloom. It's 2 years old and has never bloomed. The buds are as big as walnuts. I can't wait to see it...:D

Our high temps yesterday barely made it to the 40's. We're also having a weird Spring. This weekend should be great though. I hope it is everywhere.

This year, they're magenta...very vivid. Last year, they were a dark pink. There's definitely a difference.

Very nice garden Olena.

I love the color of the tulip. I wonder what caused the azaleas to have a color change, maybe something from the soil or its normal for them to change colors like that.

Still waiting for spring to officially happen here.

Oh Heather, your pics are beautiful! It's so nice to see the Spring colours...:)

Your rose bush is ready to bloom? Wow...with 5 inches of snow still on the ground here, it's really hard to wrap my mind around that! I can't wait to see the pics! :)

Thank you!

Olena everything looks beautiful, looking forward for some spring to arrive here in Mass.

It's been a tough winter, one that doesn't seem to want to leave. There's hope. I fear for my Azalea's they were so beautiful last year, this year they are damages by all the ice and snow. They may bloom but I'm feeling their blooms will be very scrawny. Maybe a good pruning after the blooms and a few prayers for next year and if I'm smart some burlap will bring them back to their grandeur.

Enjoy your spring blooms from what I can see they are magnificent. Looking forward to seeing your rose in bloom. :)

BEAUTIFUL!! I love Azaleas! Wish I could grow them here. Just over the mountains they are bountiful and easy to grow... but they hate my climate!

So I will enjoy YOURS! ;) :teeth:
