question of the day Friday March 3rd

[strider rose]

todays question : what flowers do you enjoy seeing come up in the spring?
for me, its my roses that i have growing outside

 

[betsygee]

California poppies! I love their bright color and watching the bees they attract.

 

[NY cat man]

Dwarf crocus. Around here it's the first to show, even if there is snow on the ground; a sure sign that better days are coming.

 

[Lari]

Tulips always seem like a spring flower to me, and they come in so many colors.

 

[denice]

Daffodils because they are the first bright showy flowers in the spring.

 

[misty8723]

All of them. I have camillias, had 2 flowers but I think maybe deer or something ate them because they're gone. I don't think my plants are going to survive anyway, they look sad.

My loropetalum bushes are looking very pretty though.

I love daffodils. When I brought my oldest home from the hospital, the daffodils were blooming. I always associate them with him. So bright and cheerful in the spring.

 

[iPappy]

I only have day lillies and a mystery multicolored flower Mom planted for me in my garden, and I enjoy them all.
It's not a flower but I love seeing the milkweed coming up, because it attracts monarch butterflies!

Not come up, but come out - cherry blossoms (which I’ve always known just as “blossom trees”). When I was little there was a park nearby that was full of them.

I love to see the forsythia’s bloom. I don’t have one but my neighbors do and it produced beautiful yellow blossoms in early spring

 

[aliceneko]

All of them! My particular favourites are camellias, daffodils and cherry blossoms at this time of year.

I'm not into flowers but I do like every spring when the cherry blossoms bloom around the tidal basin in DC. They are breathtaking.

Tulips are one of my favorites and I have a pathway in my backyard this lined with tulips and I love seeing them come up in the spring.

 

[neely]

I love my peonies, they're pink, white and a deep rose red.

 

[lizzie]

We have so many different things that come up and bloom,and I love them all,but my favorites are the roses.I don't have a green thumb anymore but hubby does and they are beautiful every year.

I don't really care about flowers. I can't have them inside, because the cats try to eat them. I get more excited for vegetables, which I can actually use.

 

[Arya Underfoot]

I have lots of flowers in the garden but my all-time favourite is Jasmine, technically it's a weed but I love those sweet smelling flowers. Before I got injured I would take a bunch to work with me when it was in season and just inhale every time I'd feel stressed, soooo nice.

 

[Maria Bayote]

I love to see them bloom all at the same time. I have lots of flowers in my small garden in my country. I have roses of different colors - even the toffee colored ones. I have several sorts of trumpet flowers in different colors as well. Flowers in my garden make me smile, like my cats and dogs. They are happiness.

 

[Julesbiscuits]

Living in Seattle we don't see a ton until late Spring/early Summer (at least that I notice). Our community garden always gets sunflowers in the summer and I love those! Black eyed susans too. I've actually been thinking of getting a forearm sleeve tattoo all the way around of black eyed susans.

Daffodils are wonderful too!

Have you ever thought about having a small vegetable garden? I used to grow tomatoes in containers and they were so easy to grow and were so much better than the ones you buy in the stores.
