Flower Friday

Here are some random flowers that bloomed this week:

Grape Hyacinth, or Muscari, comes up before the daffodils bloom but the flowers come later.  They smell divine.  Insects seem to be partial to them as well.

These tiny Tete-a-Tete Daffodils are about 8 inches high.  Perfect petite beauties.

A single Darwin Tulip.  

Crab Apple blossoms.  

There were three crab apple trees on the property when we moved here.  One was moose-pruned and tiny, another had half its branches cut off because it was too near a spruce tree, and this one, in just the right spot.  We have since pulled the moose-pruned tree as it was not thriving and may take out the half-tree as well.  But this old beauty is still going strong.  

This is the first year we have been able to enjoy the blossoms.  So far, no caterpillars!

Spring is so achingly beautiful.
