April 4th's installment of Project Spectrum filled me with high hopes that spring had indeed arrived; then, to my astonishment, that same week brought snow and more freezing temperatures. (It's Michigan, I really should have known better.) But now spring PS 2.0 resumes with lots of greens, pinks, and yellows now that spring seems to be here to stay.

Daffodil Revival
Despite being hard hit by the snow, I’m happy to say the sunny daffodils have made a complete recovery. These starry-eyed fellows are in our yard.
Some of my mom’s daffodils.
And More Spring Blossoms
It’s proving to be a big year for the hardy Dandy Lion.
My parents’ lilac bush.
Flowering crabapple.
Not pink, but these grape hyacinths are so cute I didn’t want them to feel left out. Happy spring (or fall, if you’re on that half of the globe) to all!

Great colors! Our lilacs haven't even leafed out fully yet. It's a very late spring this year in Vermont.
Happy Spring to you... We also are seeing all our flowers waking up to this beautiful season. Today we will continue to work in the gardern. It puts me in such a great mood. Beautiful flowers. Enjoy the day

I'm Yankee-Born and Southern-Raised, which makes me kind of Southern Gothic (in the old literary sense of the word). After 15 years in the Big Apple, I spent 4 years on a farm in Michigan raising chickens and llamas and learning to spin, knit, and needle-felt. Now I'm back home in NYC with my much-beloved spouse and one crazy tortiseshell cat. You can also find me on Ravelry.com as okitten.

beautiful! i'm sooooo envious when i look out to my deck "garden".
I love the Parrot Tulips. They are gorgeous. Oh and lilacs, I miss lilacs. They won't grow here.
I'll live vicariously through your garden.
Oh I miss lilacs so much! We had purple ones in our backyard in Minnesota and white ones down at the end of the street.
Those daffodils of your mom's are different and pretty!
What magnificent tulips! I so envy you... it's too hot to grow them in Queensland, daffodils will grow as long as they aren't in full sun all day.
Beautiful spring photos and flowers.
Happy Spring to you...

Pretty! Hee hee - I didn't think we had that many flowers going here until I saw my brother's yard yesterday. Hello, Dandy Lions!
