I love the way the globes of these alliums intersect and overlap, like adjacent spherical pyrotechnic bursts.

Daffodils in Bloom
The daffodils have been in bloom for two weeks and show no sign of stopping.
Everything’s Coming Up Crocus
One of the earliest blooms on our block.
Hyacinth Seed Pods
The hyacinth flowers from this spring have all died back, leaving stalks of seedpods that are turning translucent and releasing their little black seeds.
Giant Allium
That’s no moon — it’s a giant purple allium!
Flowering Bulbs in Full Bloom
Squills, daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths, tulips — nearly all of the flowering bulbs have emerged to put on a show.
Crocuses
I snapped this photo of this pairing of crocus flowers for my wife, as her colors are purple and white.
Daffodils
Our daffodils are still going strong.
Emerging Flowers
As winter fades into spring, life reemerges.
First Squills
The Siberian Squill that I planted eight years ago in the sidewalk tree beds out front are still going strong, and are often the first thing on our block to bloom.
