Folks, It IS spring in California! My backyard and Front yard.!

Lavender from the front yard blooms...
My childhood girl friend Patty and I bought these miniature daffodil bulbs how many years ago now? and I planted mine. We had tulip bulbs too but I think I must have planted those all upside down as none of them bloomed for me. Patty's garden has them all!

Also in my front yard...not sure what this bush is called but it is loaded with these small pink blooms. So pretty.


One more daffodil ready to bloom in the backyard...








Purple flowers under my orange tree.





An old faithful geranium that keeps coming back year after year...






My dwarf peach tree is blooming!




























Camellias are out in full force now...remember the first buds?

    Lynn, you're right! Needs nothing more to prove it.
    Your shots are gorgeous.
    I loved especially the peach tree; some nostalgic memories.
    Love.

  3. OH THATS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT. Love to see this. That means we arent far behind. YEAAAAA.
    The camilias are blooming next door, and we went for a walk and saw LOTS of Daffodils blooming now far from us. I had to take pictures of it of course. Thanks for sharing.

  7. I have a special little someone in my life named Camille - and there is a camillia in the yard, in her honor. Yours are very pretty, Lynn.

  8. The daffodils are gorgeous, they're my favourite flower.
    The pink bush you're not sure about is an Aussie native, it's a tea tree, a leptospernum, great name don't you think. They extract tea tree oil from the more common variety. The oil is used as an antiseptic.

  9. Between you and Cris, I am even more depressed about our snowy weather! Actually, it's nice to see the flowers and think that yes...they actually are still out there somewhere, buried under the snow...
