Spring is coming

The pictured iris is now blooming in my back yard. I always forget the correct spelling but its "Iris Evansia". Its common name is creeping iris. The day has dawned sunny and bright here and I am on my way to the SF orchid show.

Beautiful bloom!!!!!!!!!
My gaffodils are comming up with the onion looking arrows of leaves. Poor things, they are the first things to come up and usually get frost bites...
Yep, Spring is on it's way here too!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful! I've inherited alot of irises at my new house property. We had Louisiana Irises and the common purple/yellow kind bloom last year, but my fiance mowed over them with the lawn mower thinking they were WEEDS! GAH I could have strangeld him!

Ahh... very nice, first signs of spring... Were still covered in snow but warm weather is forcasted, so I'm hopeful. Beginning to get all my spring gardening stuff ready, prep seeds, all the fun stuff!
I can't wait...........

Thanks for sharing a little bit of spring with everyone!

Saw the first true sign spring is coming here! The college kids have started to move in, and even though it was only around 60F yesterday, they were in bathing suits, tank tops and shorts, hanging out on the beach and cruising the beach road. Oh to be young again lol

Yesterday was opening day for the kids baseball season, and we were all bundled up in long sleeve shirts and coats.

But it was a beautiful sunny day, and I even got a light sunburn on my face. Yeah! Today it's supposed to get almost to 70F, and be beautiful and sunny again.
