It's Official!

The 'Naked Ladies' or 'Surprise Lilies' foliage is up and growing well, if not a little crowded. They will grow and be green long enough to feed the bulbs, and then will die back later on. Around the end of July, the green is long gone and the area will be just lawn. One day, when they are ready, each bulb will send a single stem through the ground and a cluster of pretty pink lily blossoms will greet me, basically overnight, if the ground has had sufficient watering. This picture was taken by leaning out the back door.

I took this picture of the neighbor's mailbox while leaning out of the front door. It is down the road and as clear as my telephoto lens could get. I had some Buttercups or Daffodils right on the corner, but they have long since been run into the ground by neighbors cutting the corner with their big rigs. They are the only yellow blooms I can see from my house. Soon, the trees will begin to bloom in white and pink, but, sadly, this is it for my springtime yellow 'fix'. Spring is here!
