Time to send a Spring bouquet!
Daphne (or so my husband tells me)
A lilac hebe (I think!)
A pretty-in-pink primula
Early blossom
More of the daphne
And the blossom
The prettiest iris
I just liked these!
Forsythia through the fence
One last spray of daphne
The hydrangea head- a vestige of Winter
And who shall I send it to? Why, all of you, of course, but with a special thought for friends who are having a hard time right now. I hope the flowers help to lift your spirits. I wish you all a joyful weekend. Keep smiling!
The spirit of Spring, looking down?
Don’t forget to link to Cate with your six words, if you can.
Thanks, Jo, for the cheery bouquet. I can really use the cheering right now. Thanks! xxx
I guess from your comment, not much good news then, Cathy? Sending a hug too 🙂
Nope, no good news at all. Thanks for the hug, Jo. 🙂
A belated thank you for the gorgeous bouquet Jo. I love the seedheads too.
Most welcome. Madhu 🙂
Wow those are some beautiful flowers! Thanks for the smile!
You’re very welcome, Tonya. Hope you had a good weekend 🙂
Iris blooming already over there ??? That is a summer flower for us … stunning pretty flowers. For once we seem to have spring on the same time, normally UK is 4-6 weeks earlier than over here. Love you 6 words of beauty … *smile
Hope you liked your bouquet! 🙂
I love the bouquet … I want one every day … from now on. We should get the flowers while we can see and smell them … not after we are dead. Thank you so much, SweatPea.
You are very welcome, Sweet Vivi 🙂
SweetPea …. not SweatPea!!!! Sorry – Sorry … but funny.
Thank you for calling me a sweaty pea 🙂 I’m still smiling!
I’m smiling too. *smile!
Always a pleasure to receive a bouquet Jo . Lol Thanks 😉
Hope your weekend has been good !
Busy, Poppy, and I guess that’s the same thing 🙂 Just catching up now. You are most welcome!
Lovely blooms and that fountain 🙂 Where did you take it?
The fountain is in our local park which I walk through every Saturday morning to zumba. The flowers- round and about 🙂 May the spirit of Spring be with you!
And may it not bring hay fever this year :D. Thank you, my dear Jo 🙂 I wish I could send you some sunshine, but it is pouring here.
Oops! Forgot about the hay fever 😦
Don’t bother to send the rain. I think Amy needs it more 🙂
Ok, all my raindrops are going to Texas now …..
Awesome set of flower pics. That first one is FTW!
Thank you so much 🙂 Glad you enjoyed your bouquet, Rommel!
I love spring flowers. Thanks for sharing the photos. Lots of pretty colour 🙂
How’re they doing up your way, Colin? Many thanks for your visit, by the way 🙂
These are so absolutely gorgeous Jo and you’ve captured them so well! Thanks! 😀
Flowers are always a pleasure to share, Sonel, and I love it when I can get a half decent shot. 🙂 Have a peaceful Sunday!
What beautiful blossoms. I love the bouquet! And thank you for sending the spirit of Spring. 🙂
She enjoyed the journey, Debbie 🙂 Like me, she loves to travel.
Beautiful flowers… great shot… 🙂
Thanks, Bams 🙂
I’m loving the flower pictures right now.
So cheerful, aren’t they? Sunny again here this morning (so far!) 🙂
so pretty Jo!
I’m always surprised at what you can find if you go looking, Christine 🙂
LOVE the purple Iris, Jo. I’ve tried to grow them over the years, but our summers can be so hot and dry, they just don’t thrive like the one in your shot. I do appreciate you sharing!!
I’m more than happy to share my neighbours flowers, Elisa 🙂 I’m a big fan of the tiny purple iris. They don’t like it too wet either and we’ve never had much success with them.
so beautiful Jo…and very timely
Too late to wish you Happy St. David’s day, Jo 🙂 And it’s hard enough keeping track of the seasons in this country right now. You must be in Autumn still?
che bellissimo pensiero hai avuto Giovanna! pensare a tutti coloro che sono in difficoltà,,,hai un grande cuore 🙂 le foto sono splendide…ho anche sentito il loro profumo
buonanotte mia cara
that beautiful thought you had Joan! think of all those who are in trouble, you have a big heart:-) the photos are gorgeous … I also felt their scent
good night my dear
I have some friends who are having a bad time right now, Ventis. We all take a turn, don’t we? But it’s nice to send a hug with some flowers 🙂 It’s another beautiful morning here but on Sundays I have work to do, so I will just enjoy it through the window. Have a lovely day, cara.
They really are candies to my eyes. So lovely! Thank you for sending them over.
Special delivery! You are most welcome 🙂
Daphne jumped off the screen! Fantastic Jo!
Pretty and it smells heavenly too, Kathryn 🙂 Nice break?
Wonderful and stay tuned and please correct my spelling fairy godmother ??? ( I bet we are the same age..smiles)
65? I don’t think so! 🙂
Wow! You sure don’t look it Jo ! I had no idea. You’ve got me by a couple of years! Let’s drink to us !
To life, Kathryn! Have a happy one 🙂
Awww – thank you for the flowers, Jo! Much appreciated 😀
Any time, Dianne 🙂
Beautiful bouquet, Jo, just the thing to cheer us up! I have seen some cherry trees with blossom on around here, and crocuses and daffodils are around (though mine in the garden aren’t flowering yet)
Our garden isn’t very colourful, Sue, apart from the hellebores. The front gets more sunshine so the heather is happy and a few wee crocuses. I just sneak up on the neighbours and snap away. (note- I said ‘snap’, not ‘snip’) 🙂
Leave only footprints, take only photographs…that’s fine, Jo! 🙂
These gorgeous flowers bring me smiles 🙂 Thank you for the lovely spring bouquet, Jo!
Happy to have the power to make you smile, Amy 🙂 Have a lovely weekend.
You, too, enjoyed the weekend, Jo. Half day has gone already 🙂
Beautiful Jo – have a lovely weekend 🙂
Worn out already, Suze 🙂 Spent most of the day walking (or at zumba!) Must be laptop time.
Me too – I’ve cleaned all the windows!
Virtuous! The sun always makes them look bad, but the world outside will look beautiful now.
Thank you for the bouquet, as you know I love flowers, any time of the year. That hebe is flowering early though! And I rather think the forsythia might just be a winter jasmine – looks an awful lot like mine, as does the brown hydrangea heads. I must cut mine off soon as new buds are appearing (I keep them to protect from frosts, but not had much of them this winter). Sweet Daphne – a cheerful fragrant winter flower. My six words?
You have made me very happy.
Jude xx
Glad you enjoyed them, Jude. 🙂 We had the long discussion hebe/buddleia and Michael would not commit himself because he’s only seen my photos. I know it’s very early but it’s been a most unusual winter and I’m convinced they’re hebes. We have forsythia just starting to flower in our garden but I took those through a garden fence just round the corner, and I will concede you might be right 🙂
I think they are hebes (by the leaf) but they are early, unless they are flowers that have remained all winter! I still have a geranium in flower!
Thank you!. It is -30 Celsius here this morning without the wind chill. Your flowers are a happy gift!
I wouldn’t come out from under the duvet in those temperatures! 😦
Thanks for sharing your beautiful blossoms
much love…
You’re most welcome, Gillena 🙂
Not having a hard time, but thank you anyway. They are all so lovely!
Glad you’re not having a hard time, Mlissabeth. We all take a turn, don’t we? 🙂
Thank you for the flowers. They smell lovely.
Especially the Daphne 🙂 You’re welcome, Judy.
All so lovely. How can a person not smile?! 🙂
My favorite is that last puffy fluffy flower. Color and all. Very earthy.
Hiya sweetheart 🙂 You just put a BIG smile on my face!
YAY! 😀
One good turn deserves another.
🙂 🙂
gorgeous blooms! as I dream of spring….thanks for the beauty!
I’m very confused this year, Tobyo, but more than happy to have even a few snippets of Spring 🙂
I love the flowers Jo. A treat on this cold, icy and grey day.
Where’s it all coming from, Colline? Sending a warm hug 🙂
Thanks Jo.
Thanks! I really, did need this. Beautiful flowers.
I have said goodbye to Winter with no qualms at all, Karen, but it might still turn up and bite me 🙂
Beautiful colours. Who doesn’t love spring. Winter seems to have rather missed its opening this year in the UK, apart from the destructive floods, of course, but they might happen at any time
I wouldn’t really be surprised by snow at Easter, Peter, but fingers crossed, hey 🙂
Simply gorgeous! It’s snowing AGAIN here, so these photos remind me that Spring will arrive eventually!
I don’t believe it!!! We have gotten off so lightly this year in the north east. I keep looking over my shoulder- sure it’s hiding and ready to pounce 🙂
Thanks for brightening up a cloudy Saturday morning, here in Charlotte. Beautiful photos, Jo!
It was fabulous here, Jill. Fresh still, but blue and white skies 🙂 Have a great weekend anyway.
Months before we see any of that stuff here. Thanks, Jo.
Sorry to depress, Ron. 😦 I’d be in deep hibernation!
don’t feel alone Ron, it will be months for us as well…..sigh…….but it’s nice to see some flowers online 🙂
Your flowers have brought even more sunshine Jo. Enjoy whilst we can 🙂
Hasn’t it been a glorious morning, David! Just clouding up now 🙂
Lovely photos Jo. Are all of these from your garden? It must be lovely if they are. So far I only have snowdrops, daffodils and a couple of forsythia blossoms have just made an appearance.
No, we mainly have hellebores, Elaine 🙂 My camera is always in my pocket and just wandering into town or zumba/whatever it’s surprising how much colour there is around and about.
Hellebores are nice. I used to have some, but I don’t know what happened to them – squirrels probably! I’ve just been out for a walk and spotted some cherry blossom, crocuses and some purple flowered aubretia. I didn’t think to take photos, even though my camera was in my bag!
pretty and perky – thank you for putting a spring in my step 😉
The least I could do on St. David’s Day, Laura 🙂
Hello! Feel free to watch my new photo album. I greet and wish you a beautiful weekend!

Thanks, Marko 🙂 I’ll come and see your ducks soon.
Beautiful flowers captured by beautiful heart!
Thank you 🙂 What a lovely thing to say!
Lovely photos Jo. And what a kind thought.
Hints of colour everywhere I go, Debbie. It definitely lifts my spirits 🙂
🙂 Very pretty flowers, Jo. Yours are ahead of ours a bit. The red bug trees are blooming though.
My favorite is your first one. It reminds me of miniature marshmallow puffs on a tree branch.
..
It’s been a gentle Winter here in the north east, Jim. Am I tempting fate? Probably! 🙂
Yes, it is same for me too, what a beautiful start to a new day with your amazing post, Thank you dear Johanna, have a nice weekend, love, nia
Thanks, Nia 🙂 I love it when Spring is in the air. You too!
A perfect start to my weekend – thank you!
You’re very welcome, Tanya 🙂 It even looks like a Spring morning here! I’m off to walk across the park to zumba soon.
