Winter be damned; Spring has hit my yard with a vengeance! Here is today’s set of flowers, blooms and blossoms.<\/p>\n

The canopy of cherry blossoms from the trees in the front yard.

<\/p>\n

Tulips in the front yard.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

I almost prefer the look of tulips before the flower opens. The head and lips remind me of Audrey Jr from Little Shop of Horrors<\/a>.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Red tulips.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Grape hyacinth. I have a little patch of this in the corner of the yard, but this Spring has revealed several volunteer patches that have scattered about. I cannot bring myself to mow them.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Daffodils, again, entirely volunteer.

Blooms from the little cherry tree in the back yard.

Blossoms on the pear tree.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

The tulip magnolia in the back yard.

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course, dandelions. I try to limit their numbers, but I’m not sure I’m making much of an impact.
