Tulips in Evening Light

Newly Blooming Double Daffodil

Pretty Pink Daffodil

I've got some interesting purples in the garden right now. My mom had pulled some bulbs out of her garden and was about to throw them away, so I took them home and planted them in my garden. I'm not sure exactly what they are, but I think they are a type of fritillaria.
I Think These Are Fritillaria?

Close Up of the Flowers

Right next to these is a hosta that is just starting to sprout. I like the little purple jackets on the leaves, and how they come up in a circle.

And still on the purple theme, here are those purple hyacinths with a background of 'Saybrook Gold' juniper.

Oh, and some photos showing the life cycle of a pasque flower.

Finally, another view of my favourite spring garden bed.

Your favorite garden bed for spring is lovely, Karen. I like the way the tree branches lean down, almost as if the tree were sheltering the daffodils and new spring growth.

Lovely pictures--I like that double daff, if only for the great orange detail around the very center. And your fritillaries (you're right about those) look like my fritillaries! I posted a pic of mine a few weeks ago, but I don't know how to put a link in the comments.
Great pics - you're going to find that your climbing hydrangea is going to "eat" that small fence and trellis once it starts to grow. :-) A great problem to have...
Hey, thanks for commenting Doug. The trellis is just a scrap of lattice left over from a project. It is more ornamental than functional. I would be delighted if the hydrangea covered the fence! That is a very bare area and I am struggling for ideas to dress it up a bit.
Beautiful photos, I really like the detail that shows up. May I ask what kind of camera you are using?
