After a rather long, grey and rainy winter we finally had a nice sunny day for a very pleasant walk today, and at the risk of angering our family and friends in colder parts of Canada, thought we'd share a few wildflowers in our neighborhood and hopefully remind you all that spring is on the way.
All these flowers were in one spot in Stanley Park and within 10 feet of each other, but all showcase some nice variation. The tulip above even had a sleepy bee on it, covered in pollen and warming up for a big day of bumbling about.
The snowdrops shown above are very prolific throughout the park and are a pleasant sight wherever you go. The irises below were tucked in at the base of a tree in a little cluster and bravely starting out their spring.
Since neither of us are accomplished botanists I don't have too much to add regarding any of these flowers except that as today is the first day of spring, they were a very pleasant sign that winter is over and the warm weather we all love is just around the corner.
