We recently returned from a few days in Texas, visiting our daughter and her family. I was able to photograph some pretty flowers.
Did you learn the Texas Bluebonnet song when you were in elementary school? (Due to copyright, I am not able to print it here.)
Someone designated their front yard a Bluebonnet Preserve.
Bluebonnets are a type of lupine. They are different from the lupines that grow in my gardens, although I do have some blue ones.
A type of oxalis
A lovely flower on a tree/shrub. Not sure what this one is either.
Bottlebrush plant, a shrub with lovely flowers

When I got home, I was pleasantly surprised to see LOTS of colorful blooms in my own garden.
The creeping phlox has begun creeping...and blooming as well.
These are pansies that I planted last fall. I was pleasantly surprised that they survived over the winter.
The tulips are blooming.
Love this little primula - so colorful!
The daffodils (here, in the hosta farm) are blooming and there are many varieties.
