One of the things that I enjoy about online life is seeing pictures of flowers form all over the place. It's fun to watch spring come at different times for my northern hemisphere pals, while catching glimpses of fall arriving in the southern hemisphere. There are common garden flowers that seem to be nearly everywhere like daffodils and cherry blossoms. But they bloom at different times in different places and I enjoy getting to see them for a lot longer than they bloom.

Here in the Bay Area the earliest flowers are done. The magnolia in the back has only leaves now. Out and about I'm noticing that the jasmine is coming into bloom. It smells great! Also wisteria is in bloom all over the place. I love the masses of flowers it produces! Plus there are California poppies, and some iris -- some native varieties, and some showy garden varieties. The native ones are some of my very favorite flowers.

What's in bloom where you are?
