Our first tulip
The bags of tulip bulbs we planted around the front roses in the fall are up, and the first one has opened! See Macro Monday and Mellow Yellow Monday for versions of the theme.
And the delightful grape hyacinths (muscari) in the back yard are coming up so well. This is their second year and they are quite respectable looking. I love how easy they are, that they spread nicely, and that they are practically evergreen and leaf up super early. Visit Blue Monday for more blue things.
And check out Color Carnival for more brilliant colors! And I like this post so much I’ve tagged it Best Post of the Week.

I love,love,love Muscari (or Grape Hyacinths)! Happy blues~
Yellow tulips and grape hyacinths – what a combination. What a color border you have there in your garden!
I think we are all giddy with the spring flowers in our gardens. My post is also of the first signs of spring in my garden.
those are really beautiful!

Gorgeous!
What gorgeous photos! My tulips are up but not yet in bloom–I hope we don’t get one last snow that ruins them! Thanks for sharing your bit of spring!
Your flower photos are so alive and lovely.
I love muscari! I have some in pots because my husband HATES the way the leaves hang around ‘looking untidy’ after the flowers are gone. I can just hide the pots, and still get to enjoy the flowers.
Bold, striking color!
Have a wonderful week 🙂
So therapeutic just looking at these 😀
wow! You guys are well into spring there! Your photos are just gorgeous.
Such vivid colors against the vibrant green…gorgeous!
Wow! amazing GOD’s gift to nature. Very nice.
My daffodils entry.
It is a perfect color for Easter 🙂
the colors of spring are almost overwhelming after a gray winter.
Stunning photos. My favorit spring colour is yellow.
Vivid and sunny picture!
Delightful photos of these beautiful flowers. Isn’t spring wonderful when it brings us these treasures?
