While we now have winter snow and freezing temperatures back in force, the previous days of warm spring weather we've been having were enough to see the earliest spring arrivals here.
Winter aconite - February 25
Crocus 'Romance' - February 28
Snowdrops - February 28
Pussy Willows - March 7
And last, but certainly not least...
Meet George and Charlie.
They are four-year-old brothers we adopted from the local shelter. They are total sweethearts, and they are by far our favorite early spring arrival!
Loving all your Spring arrivals!
ReplyDeleteMany of the daffodils and tulips were coming up as well, but now we are back to snow with possibly one to two feet of snow forecasted for this week. It's like having two springs, right?
DeleteI've never before seen Winter Aconite. I like it because it looks opposite -- the leaves look like petals. I am so happy you were able to adopt the two brothers so they weren't split up. They will give you many years of amusement and joy.
ReplyDeleteI love Winter Aconite because they are so early to bloom and the yellow is so cheery. They are little tiny things, though, so I'll be glad when they multiply into a nice patch. It was great timing for the cats. We were looking to adopt two after our other cats passed away, and the shelter really wanted the brothers to stay together.
DeleteGeorge and Charlie are the best! Congratulations on all your charming spring arrivals!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHello Indie!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your visit and comment.
U you already reigns in spring, bloom wonderful flowers.
Greetings to your beautiful cats.
Greetings.

They are sadly already covered by snow, as winter is back. I look forward to spring part 2!
DeleteYour patch of snowdrops is already a tiny carpet. George and Charlie pose like real photo models :-)
ReplyDeleteI got the snowdrops from a friend, and they are multiplying nicely. Snowdrops are small, but so charming!
DeleteYour spring flowers are so sparkling and glowing, I love them! and George and Charlie look so handsome!
ReplyDeleteMy spring flowers were so nice while they lasted. We now have a good amount of snow outside, but we at least have George and Charlie to spend time with inside!
DeleteYour boys are adorable :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your early spring arrivals in the garden look great too!
(I guess they're all under snow right now though?) :P
Yep! We got about a foot, with more forecasted for this weekend sadly. At least this will make us appreciate our second spring that will come along, right?
DeleteSo nice to see these early spring blooms, but I especially love the new additions to your family. George and Charlie remind me of our late Tarzan; ginger cats are the best!
ReplyDeleteLovely selection of early spring flowers. The cats are nice, too.
ReplyDeleteAwww, congratulations on your new pets. Lovely blooms! My Tommie Crocuses are just starting to bloom and the Snowdrops are blooming, too. I think I'm starting to see some Winter Aconites and Scillas break through the soil, too. Beautiful blooms and great photos!
ReplyDeleteBoston gets spring earlier than we do in the west, but your photos are very encouraging.

ReplyDeleteLovely to see a pair of older cats finding a happy home.
ReplyDeleteRescue cats are the best!
