hoping to see my first flowers this year
their scent strong and sweet

ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous colours and those new baby shoots are just amazing! Isn't the Earth a wondrous place! Happy Easter to you!
ReplyDeleteSpring started with good weather and seeing the resurgence of plants and ... see it better if you show it to us, Tammie.

ReplyDeleteI love seeing the woods awaken.
Great shots.
beautiful little things! happy spring!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are very pretty, but I've never seen them before. How interesting!
ReplyDeleteYour lovely perfumed flowers are 'Daphne', one of my very favourite shrubs, I have 4 different varieties of them. In Europe they grow wild as, it appears, they do in North America. Yours is obviously the wild variety. The berries are particularly toxic to children. The while plant is poisonous but the toxins are mainly in the berries and rind, although they are different toxins in either.
ReplyDeleteLove your fairy steps, every garden should have some. Happy Easter dear Tammie.
Arija, you did it. I believe you identified the plant. Thank you so much. I have never even heard of it. i have showed it to a number of people and no one has known, thank you so much. Yea. I agree, every garden should have fairy steps...... Please pick out a 5x7 for me to send you! xo
Deleteso beautiful, the flowers are so pretty but I especially love the steps.
ReplyDeleteHa Tammie, fun walked along with the fairy!
ReplyDeleteThe awakening of spring, nice to see so, one beautiful flowers.

Hello. Your works is Elegant.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Japan. ruma
Lovely post Tammie.
ReplyDeleteThose steps put my five into Doonhill Woods to shame.
Here in south west Scotland we're now ablaze with spring colour.
Enjoy your changing season
This is so lovely! And elegant!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your lovely visits, messages and thoughts. It is such a joy for me to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteWarmly,
Tammie
Daphne seems apt...a feminine name for a beautiful flower...
ReplyDeleteI'm not seeing any blossoms yet. But the greening is visible everywhere the snow has melted. So the blooms are on their way!
ReplyDeletewow, those blooms are beautiful. i bet they'd be so beautiful when all of them have bloomed.
ReplyDeletedes escaliers paradisiaques!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog; nice post !
ReplyDeleteWow, i love those steps! Such beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteWow, i love those steps! Such beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about the name of the plant, but to read “Daphne”, I remembered winter daphne, in Japanese “jinchoge”, which is native to China, Korea, and Japan. Ours are pale pink and science name is Daphne odora Thunb. Your daphne flowers are so luminous. I like to espy the tiny arrival of spring, it’s easier when I see through a telescope lens. Our cherry blossoms are almost over and new leaves have emerged like your daphne in the last year's photo.
ReplyDeleteYoko
Gorgeous flowers! How delighted it would be to walk there, finding these beauties.
ReplyDeleteAnd charming stairs :)
Lovely weekend to you! :)
漸く春がやって着ましたね。 綺麗な色彩です。
ReplyDeleteいつも訪問してくれて有り難う。
Those flowers look just like my redbud tree when it flowers. Wish I could see the entire plant/bush????
