Spring Arrives!

I love spring with the same intensity that I hate winter. Every spring, my yard fills up with these pretty little purple flowers. I don't know what they are.



This spring is extra special, because my mom gave me some bulbs last fall. I plopped them in the ground and a few of them are starting to come up. So far there are two big purple flowers (hyacithe?)(sp?) and several shoots that I can't identify. I'll post pics later when they get bigger.

I also have a stubborn tulip that sprouts up on the corner of the house every year. I forgot about it when we put in the patio and flower bed this year. But alas, that didn't stop the little bugger from poking its way through the rocks. And, the rhubarb I put in last year is already starting to sprout. Yippee!
