Bluebells and Other Spring Flowers

When I looked outside this morning, I might have thought spring hadn't come. There was frost and ice on the deck and it crunched beneath my feet when I braved the cold and dared to go outside. Of course the Pulmonaria told me otherwise. Yes, it may not feel like it, but according to my garden, spring really is here.

What I like about bluebells is, well, the fact that they are blue. True blue flowers are a bit rare in the garden so it is nice to have this color in April since it is my favorite color. Not maize and blue, just blue. I like green too of course, I have to as I am a gardener. But blue, well that's the color for me. And I have a lot of it right now. Of course I am calling on Mother Nature for a bit of warmth too!
