Today’s post title (Quo Vadis) comes from Latin. It means “where are you going?”
Lately I’ve been on a blooming flower frenzy. That continues, just because I like it.
I’ve been eagerly waiting for these
First one red tulip opened. A couple of days later, there were two red tulip. Shortly after, we have all the tulips, red, yellow, and the combination of those decorating our flower beds. Aren’t these yellow tulips with red veins particularly attractive?
Between our garage and barn there is a peculiar shrubbery growing. I believe that the original occupants “heeled in” an azalea and a rhododendron. That would have been a temporary measure. Life, or cessation of the same, intervened and the two shrubs remained in their [supposed to be] temporary home. By the time we moved here, fifteen years ago, the roots were so intertwined that I couldn’t separate them. (Yes, there is a parable in this.)
Now we have early azalea blossoms and later, rhododendron blossoms will grace this impossible shrub. We’ve come to appreciate it.
Azalea blooms first
Today the cherry trees are in blossom. I have no pictures to show you on this damp and dreary day. Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow.
Oh so beautiful. My bushes are just now blooming. The Lilacs are so sweet smelling.
Your lilacs must be great! :cloud9:
I get excited when the Magnolias bloom. I want one of those trees so badly, but hubby won’t have it. He doesn’t like that they make such a mess. I don’t mind a bit. 🙂
Our trees are getting buds now. We’re watching them daily (me and the kids) to see how quickly they progress.
Magnolia tree are beautiful. I can understand your desire to have one.
“Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow.” Annie stated that with greater certainty: no “maybe” about it!
Ah. True, but I’m not Annie. Heavy overcast on this day after. Forecast calls for improving (from my point of view) conditions.
I love how Springtime shocks the eyeballs with brilliant color. Oh, I wish those blooms would last all summer on bushes and trees…but would we appreciate them still? I think not.
Those tulips are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, it does bring those winter-dulled eyes back to life. Those tulips are one of my spring-time favorites, but each blossom has its own beauty–even the lowly dandelion.
Beautiful blooms such as these make Spring the favorite season for many of us.
Indeed they do make Spring lovely. My favorite is still that part of Autumn when the air is a bit cool, the weather is dry and the earth is warm. Unfortunately, like life, it seems to pass too soon.
