  4. Fantastic pictures, Terri. I don’t know which I like more – yellow, yellow-orange is a winner. If I had to finally choose a winner, it would be the poppies. Something about the softness and the sun in them makes it exquisite.

    • Thank you, Smitha! After I selected these for the post, I realized three were yellow/orange. Poppies are my favorite. We don’t see many of them where we live. I snapped that one when we were in Northern California a few years ago.

  10. Such lovely blooms! 💖 I was especially drawn to the California poppies and the Dahlias. We’re still waiting for spring here, with nasty weather most of the week. Supposed to get better by the weekend, but not much is happening on the flower front yet.

    • Thank you, Debbie! We barely have any blooms yet, either. Some wildflowers are popping up, but gray skies and rain are on the way, which will get things growing I believe. I have some dahlias I’m going to plant about the middle of the month.

  13. Terri,

    Dahlias are my absolute favorite. Although they have no fragrance, they still rock a garden. We’re having a spring with freezing temperatures at random, so we’re waiting a little longer to plant a new crop. I’m sharing an image of some California Poppies we drove by in White Sands, NM a few years ago. Enjoy the rest of your week! Joe

  21. Gorgeous choices, Terri. That dahlia looks strangely familiar! LOL Are you in Portland yet? You are going to hit some perfect weather there according to my brother. I think I am becoming partial to orange after seeing your pictures. They are so bright!

  22. These are all such vibrant flowers Terri, the Poppy especially. So I went out on Monday to get Spring flower pics for this Sunday’s April Flowers post because we were having an upcoming week of wild weather – torrential rain, snow showers and cold temps. I got some which was good as those flowers were bedraggled when I saw them this morning. Now, I saw at the end of this post you said we could use any flowers. I’m thinking you thought with the cold weather some people might have a tough time coming through with Spring flowers this April. 🙂

    • Thank you, Linda! I adore poppies! I miss seeing them. They cover the green spaces along the freeways in most of California in the spring. Yes, people can share any flowers from any time of year, since winter isn’t quite done with many of us. We have a few shy wildflowers now. Good luck, I look forward to seeing yours!

      • My neighbor had poppies one Summer – they were so big and I loved how they bobbed their “heads” if it was windy. I managed to get some crocuses, daffodils and Spring Beauties and have my post done, but am going out again tomorrow to see if I can add to it. No tulips yet unfortunately. They’ll have to be the end of this month.
