So beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Do you know the botanical/scientific names for any of those flowers?

[turlough]

Thank you! Yes, they're Tussilago farfara, Anemone hepatica*, and Chionodoxa forbesii.

* I've gotten used to calling it Hepatica Nobilis but according to Wikipedia Anemone hepatica is the correct name again, just as it was when I was a kid :-)

Oh my gosh pretty Swedish flowers!

Spring as suddenly exploded here and everything seems to be in flower at once. It's a bit overwhelming really :-)

Beautiful pictures! I've never seen the Chionodoxa before. Thanks for posting!

Thank you! They're very popular in Swedish gardens. You see them everywhere and since they tend to multiply like mad they would probably be considered pests if they weren't so pretty and we weren't so starved for flowers after the long winter :-)

Pretty!

It's the flowers that "make" spring for me :-)
