April flowers in our gardens
Can you name the April flowers (one is not a flower) blooming in our gardens?
You will find the answers below my April Flowers Haiku.
Tissue paper shapes.
Colors unfold from cold earth,
fragile, hardy hope.
Answers: (left to right, top: pansy, double blooming daffodil, strawberry blossom, hyacinth, tulip; middle: miniature iris, azalea; bottom: alba reptans ground cover, sweet woodruff, African violet, vinca ground cover and royal fern)
I love the pics but flunked the flower quiz (“Pretty Flower” and “Big Flower” didn’t cut it). Loved the haiku … made me think how the cold earth yields bright colors and hope.
Love the haiku 🙂 Your double booming daffodil looks like ‘Tahiti’ — so pretty 🙂 I had a couple of those this year, too –by surprise. I did not remember purchasing them, so when they came up double I was amazed. Would love to have more of them! Happy Spring. Thanks for visiting my blog 🙂
A lovely post. I’m always enchanted by the unfurling of the ferns. Thank you for the visit, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the Spring/Winter pics. Those robins seem to thrive in the snow.
