TODAY'S FLOWERS & Weekend Flowers - Blossom Time


Spring has sprung although it still is winter
the (Snowflake) bells are ringing in


almond blossom time
opening buds under a cloud cover


a little more light and a blossom with eight instead of 
four petals - will it bear twin almonds
we will never know since the parrots get the kernels before I do


a break in the clouds and pretty buds show their colour 


finally a shot against the light


whatever the weather, they manage to lift ones spirits

  2. Frühlingsgefühle fein eingafangen in wunderschönen Bildern. Liebe Arija, bei uns in der Schweiz kitzelt bereits der Herbst und lässt langsam Farben spriessen, derweil bei Dir der Frühling seine Zartheit spriessen lässt...

    Umarmung und liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz

  10. So lovely to see the first signs of spring with beautiful blooms. Yet that does mean that fall is on the way here, followed by winter. Brrr.

  11. How very beautiful. We also have (a few) snowflakes out and the daffodils and jonquils are starting to take a run at spring. Such an exciting time of year. How is your health? Better? I do hope so.

  12. Aren't those snowflake-bells the prettiest flowers with such delicate detailing .... I love their little green dots.

  13. So lovely to see early spring flowers. Your photo treatment perfectly brings on their delicate nature. I would love to have the whole series of photos hanging on my wall...because we don't get to see these wonderful blossoms much any more and I have such good memories of spring. (It is because in early spring we are usually still in Florida which is too warm for these beauties).

  17. Thank your for featuring the almond blossom Arija - family were only talking yesterday about the two beautiful almond trees we grew up with - great for us growing up to climb in, read in, and of course much fun shelling and eating the almonds. I love almond blossoms.

  18. Hard to think that you are getting into spring!!! That means we must be approaching fall...
    That last image is my favourite, with the almond blossoms backlit by the sun!!

  19. The almond blossoms are beautiful! I like the little green dots on the snowflake bells, it looks as though someone has painted them on there.

  20. It does feel like the world is still turning - but I rather like winter!

  22. I love the snow flake, how gorgeous.

  23. Lizards are pretty much a mystery to me - I photograph them in the full knowledge that I will probably never know what they are!
