I haven't shared my garden with you,
in what seems like forever...
it is mostly brown
these days...
but,
the first tender sprouts of spring
are popping up...
they may not seem like much,
but they are a sight for sore eyes...
the tiny Cyclamen...
a garden rabbit keeping watch
over the first Hyacinths...
Woody Hyacinth
pushing off their winters blanket..
Hellebore unfurling...
raising their heavy heads...
I have saved a little color for last,
the Crocus are up...
waiting,
for a little sun,
before they will open their heads and shine...
Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!

Fling off thy sadness!

I'll be joining...

Thanks for joining me today....

Oh my gosh Bella... you are waayyy ahead of us for Spring!... we have had days of snow, snow and more snow!... and cold cold cold... so I LOVED seeing your first little signs of Spring!... I can hardly wait to get out in my gardens... your crocus are beautiful!... xoxo Julie Marie
How lucky you are to live in a climate where you can grow so many interesting and beautiful bulbs, here we are so limited because it doesn't get cold enough. I can do daffodils, and some other warm winter things but I long for tulips and especially although they are not bulbs, peonys.
How exciting to think it's starting all over again! Sweet! Wish we could have some of your rain! xx
My goodness-- Hard to believe you have signs like that around you. I'll bet your yard is the showplace of your neighborhood, isn't it? I would love to walk through it myself- I know it is just beautiful! xo Diana
Bella, these pics are so pretty. How delightful to have all these spring blooms already. Thanks for making me feel good. :) Hugs, Pamela
Oh it's such a lovely time of year. Nature is amazing and brings us so much pleasure. x
Beautiful! Don't you just love signs of spring encouraging a garden to burst forth to life! Love your photos.
Bella, I know you are anxious for your spring flowers to pop up. My garden is so naked without the roses as I've pruned them. Have a few flowers and bushes in bloom. I am so so anxious to have spring here. Lovely posting.

Bella,
Oh I am so jealous that you have Spring in your neck of the woods. Here in Chicago we have cold and snow. We will not be seeing the beautiful spring flowers for some months to come. Enjoy that beautiful site.

Spring is popping up in your area. Here we are enjoying 60 degree weather but tomorrow it will drop below freezing which means icy sidewalks and roads. Trade you weather, Bella.

Oh my spring has arrived to your garden, lucky you. I think my hellebores are just peeking out, it is unseasonably warm today and there is a warm rain falling. But subzero temperature will return for the weekend and freeze everything again:( Blessings, Jen
Stunning photography and love seeing signs of Spring since I am from MA and we at least 2 months away to what you are enjoying ~ Thanx for a great post.

Beautiful to see how your garden comes to life again.
Spring is definitely on the way in your part of the country. I enjoyed seeing the hyacinths and cyclamen. Before you know it, your garden will be a sea of color!
Bella so long for spring, these pictures give hope to come. Yours sincerely
Oh! how heartening this must be, Bella, to see that color amidst all the brown of winter. I love cyclamen.... to me they look like ballerinas. You are much milder than we are here in New England and I'm afraid we won't be seeing that much color for many more weeks. But our greenery is pushing through and that certainly lifts my spirits! Take care.
Wow.....! You must living someplace a whole lot warmer than Michigan, Bella! lol How wonderful to see those sweet little heads poking up from the cold, wet earth. I'm counting the days til spring! :)

Oh glory, isn't it wonderful to see the tender greens coming up.
