The first flowers to bloom are the crocuses, dwarf iris, and scilla.
Crocuses:

| If you follow me on Instagram, you already saw this photo of a sneaky purple crocus. |

| One must have a gargoyle to guard and protect the crocuses. |
Next, some dwarf iris:
Some scilla:
 |
| Such a sweet little flower |
 |
| We have a ton of scilla growing by the driveway, so when I walk out to my car, I'm greeted by this sight. |
The next flowers to bloom are hellebores, pulmonaria, and hyacinths.
Our Hellebore:
 |
| Hellebores have "nodding" flowers, so I had to lift this one to show you the inside. |
The pulmonaria (aka lungwort):
 |
| This variety is "Raspberry Splash" |
And the wonderful hyacinths:
 |
| That black hose is our soaker hose, which we will probably pull up because it didn't work last year -- the timer that attaches to the spigot leaked. :( |
My favorite spring flowers are crocuses (which is why I have so many photos of them), because they come up and bloom first, and they add a bunch of color to the basically naked garden.
The tulips and daffodils will hopefully bloom soon!
Do you have any favorite spring flowers?
