We have had record amounts of rainfall so far this spring, and cool temperatures. Together these have given us the most beautiful burst of spring flowers ever. Scilla and wild violets were first, followed a few weeks ago by daffodils. I took photos of some over a week ago:
The daffodils are mostly done but not before a profusion of forget-me-nots appeared in the background! (I wonder where those came from since we didn’t plant them!) The tulips which began to flower a week later are still looking lovely, thanks to daily temperatures around 10 degrees celsius.:
It was surprising to see the flowers on our two ancient lilac bushes come into bloom last week , as it seems a bit earlier than usual. It might be my imagination, but there appears to be many more blooms than in other years, too. Their fragrance is so sweet, I love burying my nose into a bunch of them to take it all in.
There are so many lilacs this year, I don’t mind cutting a few:
Our old apple trees are just beginning to blossom now, but I worry with the lack of bees whether they will be pollinated:
I have placed a “spring wreath” on the front door:
I guess I can do my part to help Mother Nature with the spring decorating.

Photos are beautiful
Thank you, glad you like them.
Beautiful spring pictures! Hard to believe with all the rain but your flowers are spectacular!!
Thank you for your kind words. I think spring is the best season – when we have a proper spring, like this year.
The lilacs are so beautiful. Mine are fairly new bushes but are blooming beautifully. I experimented with 2 French Lilac bushes & they are going to bloom this year. Our flowering Crabtrees survived the last (fingers crossed) snow storm 2 weeks ago & are humming with bees. From our house to the mountains it looks like someone laid a green carpet.
All the best from Wyoming.
