Finally Blooming

[yourlibrarian]

Although today it is overcast and has turned colder, this week was spring weather and the trees and flowers have noticed.







There seemed to be a lot less of the yellow heads around. They're more scattered -- the one bottom left was one of the more concentrated spots I could see. My partner suggested that maybe some areas had been recently mowed, which was certainly true but some areas clearly hadn't, yet there were few dandelions in bloom.

Maybe they're just delayed and we'll see more soon.

Our cherry has pretty much finally finished blooming due to all the windy weather.

Oh that must be pretty! We're having high winds here today and I suspect a lot of petals are going to be blanketing curbs and sidewalks.

The pictures are beautiful, thank you for sharing

Ooh, the flowering tree is beautiful! We've had such a cold spring it's going to be quite a while before the fruit trees blossom.

Well our warm week was followed up be low overnights and a chilly day today but it should bounce back in another 48 hours. Hopefully it won't hurt the buds.

Those white blossoms are vibrant! Super pretty. Apple tree? It seems massive.

It's definitely getting greener in my area, and the daffodils have burst into blossoms, but the trees are still just green. No blossoms, yet. It probably won't help that we've dropped 40 degrees (F) since last week. Expecting snow. Even the dandelions haven't made much an appearance, yet.

It's one of the bigger ones around and good sized but might seem bigger than it is.

Oh I love the sight of daffodils too. We get some around here but I haven't seen them yet. I think it might be too soon. We have tulips too and have only had some grow and open yet.

LOL, your missing dandelions are in my neighborhood! I've never seen so many.

Sneaky little things!

My dandelions are blooming too. Pears and apricots are done, cherries and crabapples in bloom.

Sounds like you'll have goodies to look forward to in a few months!

Yep. Mulberries too, but they're barely starting to leaf out yet, it'll be a while before they bloom and fruit.
