More signs of spring

fragrant violet

They're here, the violets are blooming! Tiny little blossoms in the grass, vibrant with colour.

Helleborus

These are now in full bloom. I just love those little freckles.

Anemone

I don't even know what these delicate little flowers are called in English. They grow wild in the woods and where they do, they cover the ground like a carpet of lace.

Kiki

This is Kiki, one of Captain's two sisters. She likes to follow me around the garden, talking to me with her tiny little voice and will lay down on her back directly in front of my feet, because she wants a tummy rub. She loves spring too, because the cat nip starts growing again.

Ah spring. Yes it's here too. The first crocus opened their flowers here yesterday!

Stunning photos, by the way.

I have yet to see any flowers budding in my garden just yet (and we had frost earlier in the week!!) but it will be soon. We call those anemones too!! I love them.

Happy Easter Renate!

The spring flowers are so beautiful! I love all of those tiny little wonders that pop up to great us as the days grow longer and warmer. The anemones are the same in English. Maybe they have a different casual name but that is what I've always known them as. Kiki is lovely! Happy Easter.

I love the Helleborus. They are beautiful!
