And of course bluebonnets. They don’t seem to have been damaged by the wintry weather.

  1. These are the best eye candy I’ve seen this spring! I love passion flower vines…and yes, they do seem otherworldly!

  3. That’s the fluffiest spiraea bloom I’ve ever seen. These are nice photos, Bill, and the passionvine makes me jealous. Mine grows some, then gets covered in Gulf Frittilary larvae and turns to threads, starts growing and has a new crop. So no flowers yet. Maybe I’ll start squishing every other caterpillar to even the odds between animal & vegetable.

    Ah, bluebonnets, how I miss them! Thanks for sharing.

    (Passion flowers are really an alien race.)

    I am assuming that windmill picture is in sepia. I really like that look–oh, and the flower pictures are great also.
