More spring flowers
春花又一章 3/28/2024 （添增附錄 5/8/2024）
After more than two seasons of extraordinary weather, part of my garden flowering plants was lost, some were reduced to mere subsistence aside from a few which continued to thrive vigorously……..
Portuguese Squill* - 地中海藍鐘花 (below)
不記得這花在那兒買的約七八年前吧？原先擺室內 ，花謝葉凋後置於車房三兩年後才移到園中一角。沒料竟在這兩三年疫情和極端氣候夾攻之下活了下來，生命力之奇妙！
* Scilla peruviana, the Portuguese squill, is a species of Scilla native to the western Mediterranean region in Iberia, Italy, and northwest Africa. It is a bulb-bearing herbaceous perennial plant. The bulb is 6–8 cm in diameter, white with a covering of brown scales. Wikipedia
White azalea 杜鵑花
a lone survivor of its variety in my garden
小園一路走來折損了不少花樹，十多年前栽植的一批不同品種杜鵑，如今僅存這一株白杜鵑碩果僅存，它卻趕在其他春花前頭，枝頭上掛滿雪白晶瑩花朶來迎春！
Calla lily 馬蹄蘭
這兩簇白色馬蹄蘭種在後院荒地，也有好幾季不見蹤影
今年雨水充沛給了它再生的機會
開出好些潔白無瑕的花朶
Birds of paradise 天堂鳥花
四季都有花
Anemones 海葵
初春花朶綻放不同顏色包括紅粉藍白紫
Anemone’s are prerennial and will die back after flowering to become dormant thru summer and autumn,regrowing the following spring - online information

原以為春已歸去，不道它又回轉到我們身旁
鄰里的杜鵑煞時一齊盛放
院子角落一株鳶尾花*
悄悄地展放一朶精靈般的小花

The make-shift garden by the garage has additional colors added
aside from the regular varieties of geraniums
