To celebrate the passing of winter and the blissful appearance of bright sunshine and blooming crocus, I’m going to permit myself to undertake an elaborate happy dance and some ebullient shouting. But I’ll spare you that particular photograph…. 😉
Flowery Prose
Welcome to Flowery Prose! Growing words about writing, gardening, and outdoors pursuits in Alberta, Canada.
I would love to see the spring dance, I am sure you will have plenty of company if you started a congo line down the street!!!
I believe you would be right! Everyone seems to have spring fever around here…can’t blame them in the slightest! 🙂
Gorgeous. And I’d not only like to see the happy dance, but I’d join in. 🙂
Awesome! Maybe we should start that conga line Janice is talking about in her comment…hmmm….a virtual happy spring conga line…. I like it! 🙂
I’d dance too! Your garden must be happy…fyi the crocus buds in Bowmont Park are up, a few with colour showing!
Oh, so good to know…maybe I can get down there before it rains this morning. I was up on Nose Hill a few days ago but couldn’t find any there. Maybe now, however. Thanks tons for the tip! 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
We have the bright sunshine but no flowers yet. I’m ready to dance 🙂
I hope you’ll soon have the occasion to! The sunshine is a good start…. 🙂
Have a beautiful weekend!
how beautiful!
I can’t get enough of that bright colour! 🙂
I may be confined because of my injury but I’m doing the happy dance inside just looking at that beautiful photo! 🙂
Oh my goodness, I am so behind on my reading I didn’t realize you had been hurt – how awful! Sending healing thoughts your way!
Beautiful! Happy Spring! (Would have loved the photo of your happy dance too! ) 😉
LOL I’ve got two left feet…even when I’m happy! 😉
Wow! It is amazing you have flowers already. We only have little shoots and a few tulip leaves. Beautiful picture!
Your photos of your budding tulips were gorgeous – so nice to see! And your chives are up already! You have much better soil there for growing tulips – I have really heavy clay that doesn’t allow them much of a chance so I no longer plant them. I keep amending, though, and perhaps one day I’ll whip the soil into shape!
That crocus looks as though it is doing a happy little twirl of its own.
I love that! The petals do look a little like a beautiful purple skirt!
They really do. 🙂
I think such a beautiful flower deserves a happy dance! It is only a few weeks since our early spring flowers were out, but it already feels like an age ago.
That’s one of the most fascinating thing I find about blogging – the timing of blooms in everyone’s gardens is so different…it’s so exciting to see the changes!
I will join in your happy dance from this side of The Pond!
I’m delighted! 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend!
I know the feeling, crocus make me feel the same way!
It never gets old, that’s for sure…every spring it’s such a delight to see them!
Fantastic picture and a beautiful, colorful sign of spring. Hugs
So happy to finally see colours and the garden coming to life! I hope you have a lovely weekend!
That photo is a tonic for my soul!
It’s snowing now and more is on the way for the weekend – but I don’t mind so much now, because there is promise beneath all that white stuff! 🙂
Beautiful! But next time … the happy dance, please 🙂
LOL, will do! 🙂
That is lovely, and I am not usually a fan of crocuses, but that is a pretty one.
These purple ones are new to me this year – I had the yellows in years previous. (Those are all currently buried under the ever-expanding junipers, so I will have to dig them out and move them this fall). My current mission is to procure some of the “wild” crocuses for my garden…I just found out I can get them from a grower here, so I’ve got to move on that. I didn’t know you didn’t like them! To me, they’re just so special.
Oh how I like a good happy dance though… since your not sharing that image, will let you know how lovey this one is, to me.
LOL I will be sure to post a photo of the happy dance next time! 🙂
Hope you have a fantastic, sunshine-filled week!
Love crocus and really need to plant some this fall. I’m with you on the happy dance for spring for sure. My little grape hyacinths are popping up here in northern New Mexico and my tulips do have buds on them too. Very happy and thanks for visiting my blog
Oh I so love the little grape hyacinths…mine are just foliage right now, but I always look forward to the blooms. I planted a couple of dozen more last year to encourage the naturalizing along – they’re so pretty! Happy spring to you! Enjoy your week!
one of my very favorites as well.
What a beautiful picture of a crocus and its pistils. Orange and purple – stunning 🙂
Beautiful closeup! But I’m a little disappointed you didn’t post the happy dance. 😉
LOL I’ll know better for next time! 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
