All the flowers are so pretty!

Spring bulbs begin -
Iris reticula

Crocus

Hyacinthus

Jetfire

Scilla? I think

finally!
that last one looks like chionodoxa--not scilla


this is scilla and a bee


scilla and tete a tete


and this here is striped squill

It's a good thing the days are getting longer so I can see my flowers a little when I get home.
Here are a few sunset shots:


Greigii 'Pinochio'


Ipheion








more later...
(edited to correct Greigii)

Great photos, dirtdorphins.

Thanks for posting the ipheion - I always forget what it is called. Is this in the same genus?

Everyones spring flowers are so cheerful.

Cream Beauty and Whitewell Purple







Sun came out




Cream Beauty

dirtdorphins, thanks for the ID.



These must be 'Turkish Glory of the Snow', from OHG, an extra sent when I received an order therefrom last fall.

[quote="soilsandup"]Pacific Coast Iris "Canyon Snow" with California poppy [quote]

So lovely!
CA poppy is tied with the old fashioned huge white calla lily for my favorite flower of all time.

VERY nice photos, dirt!!!

What is that last blue one???
I want some!

Look like Anemones to me. The flowers are really small but you can't tell in a picture.

Yes, indeed, I think so...
Here is one of my clumps I. uniflorum


I have another one too, interspersed here and there, that is more blue and has rounder petals
the 'Rolf Fiedler' one

Yes anemone, I thought it was a cool picture--
They are short, but the flowers aren't that small...can be 3 inches across...they close up at night though
I need more --they are really awesome!



surroundings for context, some evening last week

Very pretty, I like how they look.

I will have to pictures on mine that have just started blooming. I only planted them for the first time ever last fall. But my flowers are fairly small.

Here's a few more blooming bulbies

Fritillaria michailovskyi


Greigii 'Toronto'


'Blue Eyes'


some other kinds...


more daffs










'Pinochio'


and crocus...still

All daffodils and tulips are long gone now.

Next up are the bearded irises and white calla lily.

Wow. So many lovelys :)
But I just adore that F. michailovskyi. I tried it from seeds... thought it'd be the cheaper way. Total failure.
Looking for bulbs now.
Good to see real pics in someone's garden!
