One of the early bits of Spring colour that start peeking through after our winter.

Fav. Gorgeous capture, flowers and colour. Very appropriate for the first day of Spring. On the contrary here, after days of sunshine today weather is dull, rainy and windy.

Love it, Phil...

It is very pretty. I always thought it was the flowers which smelt rather strange - but it seems from other comments that it is the leaves......

[Loopy-Lou]

Pretty, lovely capture

[Frances Chaloner]

They look so pretty now withthefresh leaves and all the exquisite cascade of blooms - well captured!
