The Flowers in My Neighborhood

This morning was on and off rainy, but midafternoon it cleared a little, and I took a quick walk around my neighborhood, camera in hand. The weather may not have reached my ideal yet, but it is prime season for the flowering things, and I love it!

I know the names of very few of them, so basically what I'm saying here is, isn't this pretty? This flower on a tree?

Now this I know: tulips! So looking forward to tuliping tomorrow.

Another one I recognize: lilacs! I love them. Pretty and smells fantastic.

And then the two kinds of pink flowering trees, the ones I like but not as much:

They have the round blossoms.

And the other ones, that I like even more:

They bloom like this, more feathery:

I like it when I see them tucked in between houses.

This one is also pink, but a bush more than a tree.

The camera missed the tulip and focused behind it. Rats.

More tulips, big and blown.

A nice bed of tulips.

And even some violets.

But then! Coming home on a road I rarely drive down, I found to my surprise a house that has gone All In on the tulips (and a few other things). See?

Just wow.

And more to the side.

Well done, neighbors! I feel like writing them a thank-you note.
