Rescheduled

For May 19, same time, same stations

All from the same bushes

These roses

Rosaliciousness yourself

The owner popped out and told me I was welcome to cut some !

Sweet! But I had only the (iPhone) camera, not scissors!

Views and hues you maybe can use

If they’re pink! 🙂

On a floraliciousness scale of 1-10

Today was 💯

Purple iris and friends

Peony

Rhododendron blossom

Purple iris and friends, repeat

Mildly cool, bit of rain, and zero wind 👌

I pray for April starting in November

Answered prayers 😊

Ha!

I was trying to get a picture of this (acorn) woodpecker, as it turns out) on the side of this tree

But missed!

Shocked when I got home to discover I’d captured him in flight

Even better 🤭🥰

Zara 👩🏻‍🔬👩🏻‍⚕️🚨🦠🧠☠️🚨 🥰

My single favorite southern Oregon tree in the spring

This dogwood on the city’s historical registry

With dogwood blossoms purloined from elsewhere, nearby

They are wonderful trees

Seen and planted everywhere here, deservedly.

Views and hues you maybe can use. 😊

75% lilacs; 25% iris

100% purpliciousness

And a fair bit of intermittent hard spring rains

Any more questions? 🫠

Moonrise over the foggy Charles this morning #cmgsees

Lilacs and irises

All purples, all a bit different

Gray day with rain

But consider yourself, instead, drowned in purpliciousness

🥰😊

Rhododendron bush

Rhododendron blossoms closeup

European columbine

And!

First peony of the year. Harbinger of wonderful peony (house favorite!) splendors dead ahead. 😌

Variations in a key of pinkaliciousness, for your viewing pleasure.

Apparently we’re staying with purples today

Lilacs

Somewhat unusual iris

Two-toned sharply delineated lilac blossom

Single solid lilac blossom

Consider yourself drowned in purpliciousness

Variegated or not 😊

Today’s iris-extravaganza is yesterday’s tulipalooza

𝓐𝓵𝓶𝓸𝓼𝓽.

First is a Spanish variety which should be discernible from the dramatic flair (agree, María J. Díaz Candamio ‽ )

Three more customary varieties

In purple and yellow hues

You maybe can use. 🙂

Irises

Schooled in these since I was probably four years old

Your current dose of purpliciousness

My corner to yours

If you celebrate 🫠

Flame azaleas, all

In case you think orange is not your favorite color

Might want to make some room

Their gloriousness is hard to beat

Very very hard to beat 😋

Siskiyou Lewisia

Native to 𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒏 𝑶𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒏 and (very) Northern California

Named after guess who ~~ Meriwether Lewis

Gorgeous little things, short season and not commonly spotted

Enjoy the history and the intricacy

Treat of the Day 😊

Wonderful shot of a flame azalea beneath a Japanese maple 🥰

Pic o’ the day, really

Iris display

Pot marigold

Nearly last of the tulips in an unbelievable (by consensus) tulip season

Views you maybe can use

In orange and yellow (tinges of red) hues 😊

Happy one more “iris extravaganza” day

A few particular beauties I picked (pic-ed‽) up today

Hit 83° here

Fortunately Fahrenheit, not Celsius 🫠

Your current dose of color on the violet wavelength

Ie, purpliciousness 😊

Good The Washington Post #editorial on the Grants Pass public camping case making its way through the legal system. #homelessness washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Lilacs, nuff said!

Unusual tulips (‼️ seriously) with friends

Rockrose

Not much more beautiful than a beautiful April day

And this was one.

Hope yours, also.

Japanese flowering cherry

Flowering dogwood (our valley’s singlemost favored tree)

Appropriately named fringe flower (strange creature)

Rhododendron blossom (required, in every yard)

Consider yourself drowned in pinkaliciousness

Personally still staggered that it’s spring.
