Early Spring Garden Bouquet

Today is Show and Tell Friday so I wanted to share some early spring beauty from our garden.

The daffodils are so cheery aren't they?

I am hoping my hellebore's will spread as they are such early bloomers in the garden.

It is early here on Prince Edward Island to have much color in the garden so I am delighted to be able to go out and pick a pretty bouquet to share with you! From now until November I will be able to have fresh flowers for the house-it is such a pleasure to watch the garden come into bloom again as you gardeners all know.

Thank you Cindy for hosting at My Romantic Home

&
Thank you for visiting.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend,

Carolyn

Your hellebores are so beautiful. I've tried growing those a couple of times with little success. It might not get cold enough here for them.

I needed to look at something lovely tonight (just because) and I knew I could find it here. You always have the most beautiful pictures of flowers and dishes and your home. Thank you.

Isn't this early spring a delight! I will have to look up hellebore and add them to my bed.

Carolyn I just knew that I was missing out on a ton of beauty over here at your place. Your daffs are beautiful. I can't believe that you are already enjoying blooms. My forsythia hasn't even bloomed yet and the daffs are only up about 2 inches. Woe is me! I need some blooms.
I will come over and enjoy yours with you while I wait.

Oh how lucky you are to live on PEI. I went there last year and fell in love! Everything is so pretty there.

I went on a cruise and we stopped there and it was my favorite place.

Your flowers are so lovely!

What else can cheer up a room as fresh flowers do? Your bouquet is lovely!

Cindy said...

Those flowers are so beautiful. It's just amazing how much later your blooms come up there in the North. Our daffodils bloom in February here in California. Now our roses are blooming!
