My sister-in-law  moved into her new home this weekend. She and I took a short walk around the yard. We really needed to take a break and looking at the different plants growing was a nice distraction.

All over her lawn popping up here and there were these tiny violets. Some people call them Johnny Jump Ups. Cause you never know where they will be showing up from one year to the next. I am sure they are volenteer but I wouldn't call them weeds.

The Daffodils in her yard are already blooming, mine are not.

A real close up of a daffy.

These pretty hycinthas where growing right next to her front porch.

I'm not sure what this is but it has buds so we'll figure it out when it blooms.

Beautiful photos! I love the lighting on the white hyacinth. for some reason, it reminds me of stained glass church windows. The flower that is still in bud, I think that is some of the 'money plant', also called Luneria.
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Apr 20, 2009, 2:11pm EDT
Wow, those are beautiful. I am glad you were able to take a walk and have your camera with you.
