Saturday Snapshot - Spring Flowers

5/23/2015

I know most people posted their pictures of spring flowers weeks (or months) ago. But here in Michigan, spring takes a bit longer to show up. :) Here are my springy pictures from my own garden over the past couple of weeks.

I have no idea what this plant is called, but apparently it holds raindrops quite nicely!

What a beautiful yard you have. I love spring and all the colors it brings. This week we have had a cold snap here in Missouri. I should be glad that we didn't have a heat wave! :) Not ready for that yet.

Beautiful! Here in Nevada, I'm not sure spring ever shows up!

Beautiful photos. We share some of the same plants! I believe the light green plant is a variety of sedum. It blooms in late summer around here.

I am glad the flowers are flourishing in Michigan. They are just beginning here in Wyoming too. I love tulips, but do not have them any longer. Thanks for sharing yours.

Lovely lovely flowers! The succulent you show is called "hen and chickens" or "hen and biddies". The main plant is the "hen" and the offshoots are the chickens! :)

Lovely flowers and photos! I really enjoyed spring in Michigan the past few weeks - was very sad to leave! It's already getting too warm in Brooklyn. I prefer 60s. :D

Lovely photos! I just love spring blooms. Our daffodils and all the blooms in flowering trees are long gone, but our irises just bloomed this week and are gorgeous.

Enjoy this lovely weekend -

Lovely flowers....many of our flowers are past their bloom here (except for the roses,which will bloom into the fall).

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
