february showers bring march flowers…

March 23rd 2010 in garden, miscellaneous

michael and i bought some bulbs back in december.  it was at the tail end of the planting season for bulbs so i wasn’t sure if they would produce or even come up this season.  very soon after we planted the bulbs, tiny green shoots started coming up.  they grew and grew but had no flowers.  i like greenery so i was ok with that.

imagine my surprise when i went outside yesterday just to look around the yard and enjoy the sun and saw a few beautiful flowers!  i’m so excited.  you can feel the buds inside the centers of the leaves that are about to erupt.

the colors are so gorgeous.  i wish i could remember what type of flower these are!
