Spring is here!!! - { Idaho Photographer }

Helllooooo Spring!! Flowers are blooming up everywhere. I absolutely love it! Had to go to the store today and when I walked out to the car I noticed that there are blooms everywhere in my yard. Now, I'm not a gardner and will never proclaim to be. Actually I'm the quite opposite...seriously, when I say that I have a black thumb I mean it. I actually have managed to even kill silk plants; that's how much of a black thumb that I have. Anyways, back to the subject. When I came back from my errands the sun was casting some bad shadows over the blooms so I didn't try to capture them yet. Waiting and waiting a few hours and finally the shadows are gone, so I grabbed my mat and laid them down in the grass and dirt and I shot away.

Like I wrote before, I am definitely no gardner so my floral name knowledge is minimal. I'm hoping that someone can tell me what these beautiful flowers are.

I'm guessing these are tulips? (yep...these are definitely tulips)

I'm guessing this is a dandelion? (nope, not a dandelion...a daffodil - well I was close, it started with a "d" LOL)

I have absolutely no idea what these maroon flowers are. They don't seem to bloom too much; but who knows, I probably caught them at an early stage. (I was right, I caught them at an early stage. These are in the beginning stages of peonies)

I'm kind of partial to this flower because it is my absolute favorite color...PURPLE! I thought it was a tulip but was told that it's a spring crocus. Okie dokie....I don't care what it's called, I like it!

This is the last of the flowers blooming in my front yard. What the heck are these weird blueish purplish cone things? LOL I've never seen these before, they are very interesting and they are growing all over my yard. (found out these are called Grape Hyacinth...they are so pretty!)

Welcome back Spring!!
