I planted Sunflowers. I love their blooms. It gives me a subject to photograph and I can give the seeds away to the birds.
Our nephew spent part of the evening drawing some great pictures on the sidewalk.

Some say it's the first day of Spring !!! May I send this budding rose to all of my wonderful friends here at Flickr...Taken from my garden.
Nice to have mid-winter flowers. We've let them spread and probably have fifty plants now. Soon they'll all be in bloom. ❤️💖
The red bud was getting ready to pop but 40's and snow in the forecast will probably put a hold on it. Happy Friday at least!
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (Malvaceae)
Common names: China Rose, Hibiscus, Shoe-flower, Gurhal गुढ़ल (Hindi), Juba kusum (Manipuri), Chemparuthi ചെന്പരുത്തി (Tamil, Malayalam), Japapushpam, Trisandhya, Aruna, Pratika, Rudrapushpam, ...(sanskrit)
This is a single layered hibiscus found in many hues in various parts of India (and a lot of other places :) ). Perhaps the name "shoe flower" orginated in Jamaica - the petals of hibiscus makes a good shoe shine!
An evergreen shrub but in favourable conditions reaching the dimension of a small tree, with alternate leaves and solitary medium-sized five-petaled pink/white/red/yellow/.... flowers. The plant is in bloom practically all the year around but profusely from April to September in India. It does not seed. The flowers and leaves have been extensively used in India for hair care and medicinal uses.

The Magnolia trees are now in full flower with many also putting on lovely green leaves. This bud, in the lower branches of the tree is a bit behind the other flowers whose petals litter the ground below, helped on by birds and wind. Spring certainly seems to have sprung really early these last few warm, bright days but will disappoint and change soon

Nationale Dag van de Paardenbloem
FLORON, Herbarium Frisicum
25-APR-2021 - Paardenbloemen behoren tot de meest algemene planten van onze flora. Denk niet 'een paardenbloem is maar een paardenbloem', want niets is minder waar. In Nederland zijn tot nu toe meer dan 250 soorten vastgesteld. Een bloeiend weiland kan meer dan 60 soorten herbergen en in tuinen komen meer dan 25 soorten voor. Op 25 april, de dag van de Paardenbloem, staan paardenbloemen in de schijnwerpers.
National Dandelion Day
FLORON, Herbarium Frisicum
25-APR-2021 - Dandelions are among the most common plants of our flora. Don't think 'a dandelion is just a dandelion', because nothing could be further from the truth. More than 250 species have been identified in the Netherlands so far. A flowering pasture can accommodate more than 60 species and gardens have more than 25 species. On April 25, Dandelion Day, dandelions are in the spotlight.
Even though the sun has been a welcomed spring bloom accelerator for my garden, i am still waiting for my Magnolia to explode into full flower!
The Magnolia buds looked so lovely and put on a gorgeous show in the evening sun, i had to capture its budding beauty :-))
I spotted a single budding Sandhills Lupine along Wildlife Drive, stopped, backed up, got out of my car without my camera, and found a female Frosted Elfin ovipositiing on one of 4 clusters of buds. I was lucky that there was no other nearby lupine and she continued to deposit eggs, giving me many photo opportunities at eye level.
