Spring has come to my garden


This morning I woke up to three brand new spring flowers! What a treat.

A Braziilian cactus flowering for the first time!






Not sure what the name of this one is, but it flowers every year. Any guesses?

Flower 2





And this is a first time flowering plant too, if you know what it is, please tell me

Flower 3

In San Diego, as you know, Spring brings Arizona license plates and green grass in the meadows of the Laguna. Last but not least is the presence of PCT hikers at the Laguna Lodge and general store.

I really like that skull Woody. Where can I get one?

These tulips are not from my garden but from the neighborhood. I pass them during my walks.

This was shot with iphone 5

Beautiful tulips, such an array of color.
Verrrrry nice Diana.
Love the tiny flower, Woody, I have an old man cactus too, but I never thought to look that closely for a flower.
