Gazania was sown from seeds last spring and bloomed through winter.
It's become one of my flowers.

Wow! Less than a couple hours south of me and you have amazing blooms already.

This spring, my daffodils offered few blooms. I suspect it was because of the 2020 February freeze which laid the foliage low before nutrients were gathered for next years blooms.

The only thing I have noticed thus far is the redbuds are gorgeous this spring. Nothing else in bloom yet. Please keep sharing your lovely blooms. Lovey dubby

The name came to me, it's an Ipheion uniflorum. It is a lovely flower, isn't it?
I probably need to divide them; they are not blooming much this year.
I hear they naturalize so that will be terrific.

Here's the same bluebonnet that's been blooming since early fall. It has grown bigger and blooming her little heart out.

Beautiful blooms as always. Here I've noticed very few hyacinth or jonquil blooms. I wonder if the hard freeze last year killed the foliage back so it didn't produce enough nutrients for the bulbs to bloom this year.

Always enjoy your photos of the lovely flowers! Lovey dubby

@pod Thks Kristi.
Blooms are the best this time of year so I want to show them off. When hot weather comes, all the blooms are gone with the exception of the reblooming ones.
My irises are sending up more stalks.
The gaillardia is bloom now.
I've sowed sunflowers and various seeds hoping for later blooms.

First daylily , Buddy's Betsy, to bloom. I brought it from Dave's son Jon few years ago.

What rich, beautiful color on Buddy's Betsy. Neat also to share a namesake with this beautiful bloomer! Lovey dubby
