Spring has sprung!

[dreamflower]

Here be some picspam of my yard:



The first three pics are of the climbing roses on our front porch. *ALL* of them bloomed *yesterday* at one time!







These aren't actually mine, but my neighbor's, but they are growing right next to my driveway...



These last two are at the side of our house by the driveway. There are loads more blooms on the plants, too!





Thank you danachan for helping me post them!

Oh, how lovely!!!! :D

[dreamflower]

They are, aren't they?

Purty! :)

How lovely! What beautiful bursts of color.

[dreamflower]

It's really nice to see! I was so surprised with the roses; one day they were nothing but closed buds, and the next day, there they were in all their crimson glory!

Beautiful!!! Oh, spring has definitely come!

[dreamflower]

It has! I'd begun to think it would never arrive!

Those are really pretty. I especially like the irises. I can't wait tell it decides to stay warm enough here for all the flowers.

[dreamflower]

I'm eager to see the rest of our irises bloom--I'm not used to white and yellow ones. I really like the purple ones my neighbor has.

Did you know, there are about six or eight different colors of irises? They were my mom's favorite flower and she had at least one of each color. One of my biggest regrets is that, when my dad moved out of the house after she died, I didn't slip into the back yard and dig up those plants. I keep telling myself that one of these days I'm going to have irises as nice as hers were.

Beautiful! My roses don't come around until a month or so from now. But I was pleasantly surprised by irises this year (I forgot I'd planted them!)...

[dreamflower]

Well, we didn't even *know* what we had till they started blooming! They were all planted by the previous owner!

What a nice surprise! Yeah, our place came with a rose bush, which I thought was dead, but suddenly bloomed scarlet roses one day.

Lovely!

[dreamflower]

They really *are* aren't they?

[lily-the-hobbit.livejournal.com]

Wow! The roses are gorgeous!

[dreamflower]

They really are just amazing! I hope they keep on blooming!

*thinks about still snow covered rhododentron in Mr and Mrs B's garden and my one and only little pot at my own balcony*

I want flowers! These are lovely, Dreamflower! It makes me want to rush home to my tiny balcony and fill it up with flowers too. Thanks for sharing!

[dreamflower]

I'm sure you'll be able to soon! When does the weather begin to warm up there? At least you will have very long days for the growing...

Down south where I live it's well into spring already but Norway is a very loooong country and up north it's about a month behind the south when it comes to weather conditions. In the north spring comes suddenly, lasts a very little time and then there is a short summer before it gets colder. Down south we have a good long spring and if it's warm like last year we also have a decent summer of about two months at least.

The climbing roses are beautiful!

[dreamflower]

They are just incredible! I've never seen anything like them!

[graymouse.livejournal.com]

Ohhh pretty!

I love irises, they get so tall and look so exotic. They remind me of orchids but without the fuss.

[dreamflower]

They do have a sort of orchid-ish look to them, don't they?

[surgicalsteel.livejournal.com]

Just gorgeous!

[dreamflower]

They really are just beautiful! I'm sort of stunned by them.

[melilot-hill.livejournal.com]

How lovely! I love spring. It's really great to see your plants start to grow and bloom :-)

[dreamflower]

It really is, especially as we'd no idea when spring would truly arrive!

[lilybaggins.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!!! I've heard roses are tough to grow---you're doing a fine job!

[dreamflower]

Actually we can't take credit for them; they were here when we moved in! But I am hoping to keep these blooming!
