Blossoms Backed By Blue

We’ve been getting many short, gentle showers recently. They come and go quickly, the sun comes out and the flowers are loving it!
Our April showers are doing well with producing May flowers, especially as they are definitely ahead of time!
Happy Monday.
Recent spring lovelies …
… have brought a smile to my face …
… a lightness to my spirit …
… and an energy to my step.
It’s amazing what a bit of sun …
… and a few flowers can do. Strictly speaking, we don’t need them to survive, but my, don’t they lift us? 🌸
I found these pericallis on a mobile gardening prep table that a couple of city workers were using to get them ready for planting in a park flower bed.
They were so beautiful in their colourful profusion.
Happy Flower Friday.

The arrowleaf balsamroot flowers, or as they are locally called, Okanagan sunflowers, are blooming everywhere.
Right now, the bright yellow of their blooms can be found all over hillsides and throughout the pine forests of the Okanagan Valley.
Their profusion is beautiful, but to First Nations, they were an important food source as this plant is completely edible, including its roots. They’re not just a pretty face!
Although they to some extent resemble sunflowers, they look more like yellow daisies and except for the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia and a few other valleys in Washington state, are a relatively rare find, confined as they are in their wild state to certain areas of the west coast of North America.
They won’t last long; in about a week they will start wilting and will disappear until next spring.
Happy Earth Day. 🌎
Azaleas are so lovely …
… but only here for a short time.

Lovely spring flowers are springing up everywhere.
Narcissus in the city parks …
… and heron’s bill in the city parking lots!
It was lovely to see them thriving in every little unpaved spot. Happy Tuesday.
