Our daffodils were very late bloomers because of a longer winter/colder spring. Once they started blooming, they were very abundant. Forsythias, dandelions and mustard greens provided more colorful blooms — all in yellow.
My favorite wildflower,which is also in my favorite color, are these wild violets, which show up in two color variations every spring; all are volunteer plants.
Several lily of the valley plants were transplanted from our former New Jersey yard. These have thrived and multiplied in the 10 years we've been living in Virginia.
The F&P strawberry patch also has many blooms, hopefully we'll enjoy a great crop. Yellow wild strawberry blooms are colorful and abundant now on the lawn areas.
In the orchard, the peach trees and a lone pear tree budded last week. Heavy winds here the past few days blew off most of the colorful flowers.

Beautiful blooms! We don't have much yet. The magnolia trees in Boston are blooming, but that's about as far as we've gotten...
Quite the collection of blossoms! The fruit trees, here, are blooming as well as some spring flowers. So nice to see after the long winter.
anyone reading my comment, if you did not enlarge these, you really should. these are ALL awesome macro shots. wow and wow on the photos.
love all the colors and we have orange hibiscus like your middle shot in the first collage and two different red hibiscus.. purple kings mantle...
You certainly have an abundance. We still have some crocuses, and the daffs are not quite here yet.
Beautiful - gorgeous - blooms! We don't have any yet. It's a rainy, cold day here, but we need the moisture.
I have lots of everything going. Went to a garden center and gave them a couple hundred and possibly headed to another today.
And I thought we had many flowers in bloom here :-)
We don't have yellow colored wild strawberry flowers here, only the white. But we do have a relative to them that we call Troll strawberry that is yellow. The berries look just like normal ones but taste absolutely nothing :-) :-)
Have a great day!
Christer.
I just love when the wildflowers begin to bloom. I am fond of violets, lilacs, and larkspur.
Lovely flowers! You are indeed blessed.
What a terrific post! I love all those flowers - volunteers or otherwise. We are just not seeing the buds on our magnolia and the forsythia is out. Only the scilla seems to be blooming wildflowerwise. But the daffs are up and open. Spring is here.
Achingly beautiful!
Great pictures!
We have tulips and (of course) dandelions.
Spring is full on in your yard. I love the lily of the valley.
A brilliant display of blooming there :)
Beautiful flowers! I posted about all my daffodils yesterday, And wild violets in my grass. Spring is so pretty.
Beautiful photos!The yellows do seem to make the first appearance in spring followed by the pinks and whites. They're all so pretty : )
The daffodils are beautiful, I love the one in the center! We have redbuds and lilacs blooming, and the fruit trees are beginning to bloom. The redbuds are beginning to leaf out now. It's been a beautiful spring so far, aside from the storms!
Beautiful collages, Dorothy! These flowers are such a welcome sight after the winter we had.
