I found these rain-wet Icelandic azaleas growing in a garden in Reykjavik. I wasn’t expecting to see azaleas there, but in another pleasant Icelandic surprise, there they were!
I hope your Friday is in the pink!

Dogwood Tree
British Columbia’s provincial flower is the Pacific dogwood.
The name comes from the fact that sailors used the wood of this tree to make nails, otherwise known as dags – or later, dogs – in ship repairs.
It has been British Columbia’s provincial flower since 1956.
So elegant and sparkling in either white or the dogwood’s alternative colour, pink, it’s another marvellous addition to the spring pantheon of beauty.
Happy Tuesday.
Think Pink
Here in southern Ontario where I am presently visiting, everything is in the pink!
The weather has been cool, windy and rainy at times, but we had enough sun to get good shots of these pretty spring flowers.

Beauteous white …
… brilliant white …

… a snowflake flower.
Happy Friday.

A Queen Elizabeth rose from Andy at Ebb Then Flood. Andy’s photography is beautiful and it’s well worth the time to stop by his blog for a look.
A Lovely Day
We are heading out on Saturday for a big road trip to Toronto and back which will be closely followed by another one around Iceland. Since at the moment we’re so busy getting ready, I’m closing comments here but I’ll still be visiting your blogs and keeping up with your posts.
If you’re in the northern hemisphere, I hope that spring has sprung for you or that you’re getting close. Happy Thursday. 🌺
Showers and Flowers
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? 🌸
Flowerday
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.
Red Hot Pokers
The hummingbirds and Bullocks oriole share the red hot pokers, but not at the same time. These photos are from another year, as it’s a bit early for…
