I love to see their bright yellow crowns peeking up through the remains of the snow. It tells me that Spring will be in full swing in just a few short weeks. I always go out and pick as many bunches as I can. It gives the house hope while it waits, and makes the whole place smell crisp and fresh.<br />ooh I can hardly wait for Spring now!!<br />hehe<br /><br />hugs,<br />Jessieiiiiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724620631492136674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34082984.post-16984245539194398932010-02-25T15:31:38.451-06:002010-02-25T15:31:38.451-06:00I love Gerbera Daisies!

But, daffodils are pretty, too. Did you know that tulips will continue to grow once they've been cut? I'm not sure, but they may be the only flowers that do.

My mother received a gift of crocus bulbs when I was born one September a few years ago. She planted those bulbs out back of the yellow farmhouse I grew up in, and for as long as I can remember, I watched for their spiky green foliage and deep purple blooms to appear in the snow! the first sign of spring!RubyJuneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902414263478607197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34082984.post-11250735304156912022010-02-25T08:03:54.771-06:002010-02-25T08:03:54.771-06:00..hands down, my favorite spring flowers are the D.....hands down, my favorite spring flowers are the Dogwoods! I have always love them as far back I can remember. I love them even more ever since I came across this poem, below.<br /><br /><br /><br />The Dogwood Tree<br />Anonymous<br /><br /> <br />When Christ was on earth, the dogwood grew<br />To a towering size with a lovely hue.<br />Its branches were strong and interwoven<br />And for Christ's cross its timbers were chosen<br /><br />Being distressed at the use of the wood<br />Christ made a promise which still holds good:<br />"Not ever again shall the dogwood grow<br />To be large enough for a tree, and so<br /><br />Slender and twisted it shall always be<br />With cross-shaped blossoms for all to see.<br />The petals shall have bloodstains marked brown<br />And in the blossom's center a thorny crown.<br /><br />All who see it will think of Me,<br />Nailed to a cross from a dogwood tree.<br />Protected and cherished this tree shall be<br />A reflection to all of My agony."Karrieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509454709489592186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34082984.post-78698777917590832312010-02-25T07:29:27.603-06:002010-02-25T07:29:27.603-06:00Well, living in the northeast, we don't get to...Well, living in the northeast, we don't get to see spring flowers quite as early as many other blog-friends do... I see many love lilacs! Me too, but that's more of a summer flower here, so I think I would say Lilies! Often at Easter time, the green grass is just peeking out from under the snow, and we see the many beautiful lilies being displayed in all the stores and store windows! They are a beautiful sign to me that either Spring is here, or it's at least on it's way! ~tinaBeansieleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209407131229443724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34082984.post-4589250805703328402010-02-25T07:10:29.626-06:002010-02-25T07:10:29.626-06:00I would say daffodils are my favorite.
