flowers sing happy first day of spring!

I had walked outside
for a breath of fresh air
and saw the amaryllis had bloomed.
How gorgeous!
Next thing I knew,
I had a surfeit
of photos of flowers to share!

The amaryllis went to Joe Guy,
and to Sandy, too.
These classic azaleas, though,
on the left corner of the house,
were sent to Carolyn
(who is ill at home)
and to Jeff the ex,
who still has winter in Michigan.

These lovely white azaleas,
by the front porch,
are a bit bedraggled,
but still pretty,
so off to my first niece
on this first day of spring!

This first cluster of
the wild lantana all over
my front and back yards
stayed with me...
until now!

Not the case for these
peachy salmon azaleas!
The buds, blooms, and wilts
are just the type of thing
the physicist likes -
reality, not happy endings!
LOL!

This giant bouquet was found on a bush with little sunlight, caught in the shade of the Japanese magnolia.
Bursting with life, I knew it
was just what the running bear
would find adorable!
(smile)

I was thrilled to find this
dark pink camellia,
with buds promising more to come,
on the bush by my driveway.
Barbara was thrilled
to receive the photo, too!
Yeah!

Speaking of promises,
in my back yard, near the shed,
are lots of these flowers!
Blackberries this summer,
if the birds don't get them first!
I sent this one to Smitty.
(smile)

See the tiny purple flowers,
on their tall thin spires,
there in my shadow?
They are all over the yards!
I sent it to Penny in Tall'ee
for her hubby to identify,
but it's some unknown weed.

This is also a weed,
but the petals are such
a delicate shade of blue!
It may well be kin to
the drunken wild iris
that staggers all over!

The dollar weed is easy to identify,
thanks to its namesake-sized,
glossy, round leaves.
These are curbside
in the front yard,
though they're also in
the liriope bed in the back.

This is a monster dandelion,
standing almost three feet tall
as it marches across the back -
RAWR!!! RAWR!!! RAWR!!!
What a fierce strewer of
wish puffs it is!
LOL!

But the one which has garnered
the most "likes" on fb is this:
the branches of white flowers
on my non-fruitful pear tree,
reaching for the clouds -
daring to strive for that impossible dream.
Yeah, I get that.
