Lavender and silver chalice-shaped blossoms with orange stigmas that bloom in early spring. They spread by seed and seperating the offsets. They are so pretty growing in the lawn, as they are in Winterthur.
Winterthur is a garden developed by Henry Frances du Pont, located in northern Delaware, that is in constant bloom and changing daily. This lawn is a soft lavender now, but will be changing to a bright lavender blue when the Chionodoxa forbesii (Glory-of-the-snow) bloom later this month.

Patchy watery sunshine and shadows in the Hudes Hope as the overnight low cloud and mist lifts and breaks.
I'm still on California time...and we would be seeing Crocus peeping through the ground soon there. Here in Michigan it will be a couple of months from now by the looks of things before it arrives...:)
I needed something that SCREAMED SPRING!!
This is done in Watercolor & Ink and Dr Martin's Bleed Proof white spattered at the finish of the painting.
I'll try to share a little technique.
First in pencil, I lightly drew the Crocus's and then ''threw and spattered dots of yellow and green paint all around them(no masking was done)....then I very carefully misted the spattered areas and let some paint run and flow on its own. I added more spattering and misting and color as needed.
Then I painted the crocus in several layers of blues and purples, using both the wet into wet and dry brush techniques. I painted the greenery using both techniques also.
I then used a Micron pen to add Ink and definition.
At the end I spattered with the Bleed Proof white and some Cad. yellow.
This time of year I try to go to the National Arboretum very often. There are many varieties of Spring camellias in full bloom right now (end of March); this one was beautiful and unique.
White flowers series. Photo number 1.
A tree full of white flowers. I guess it is an almond tree. Spring is starting to arrive shyly and slowly.

I enjoy seeing the beaver dams along Owasco Inlet. I'm not used to seeing them in most places I visit. One of them is surprisingly large, it is in the background of this photo.

There is rain forecast for the next few days. But that's OK because it also feels a bit like Spring. And then there's the Daffodils blooming in the garden.
Primavera in città: fioriture nei giardini delle case e dei condomini: le Forsizie
(Forsythia) sono una delle fioriture più precoci
River Farm near Alexandria, VA was purchased by George Washington in 1760; it's a couple miles upstream of Mount Vernon adjacent to the Potomac River. Today, the home and gardens are open to the public and also play host to the American Horticultural Society. This grouping of tulips is from one of their many beautiful flower gardens.
As the transition to Spring continues, each plant and tree has its own timing for awakening. This one is somewhere in between dreaming and waking still hanging on to remnants of last year's berries. A little color to a gray, cloudy day.
am noticing a slight uptick in the population of birds in the garden... as I am just planting some of the flowers for later in the season. They do like the yellow blossoms of the turnip (more like a jungle of yellow blossoms to fly through). The scarlet honey suckle (rescued from the ditch of a nearby highway two years ago) is near blooming.

The crocus are up. Spring is right around the corner!
This time of year I try to go to the National Arboretum very often. There is an explosion of color there now as the camellias, magnolias, and other flowering trees are all blooming.
