Making my own Spring

Can pansies and johnny jump-ups be far behind?
What are your favorite spring flowers?
Carol loves hyacinths.
Beth loves all the spring flowers, but the scent of gardenias is her favorite.
I love paper narcissis, daffodils, tulips, and crocuses, but my favorites are pansies, johnny-jump ups, violas and violets. They have such sweet faces.
We have wood violets in our yard that come up all on their own; white, purple, and blue. I can't wait!
update:
I forgot to mention that I heard birdsong this morning at 5:30ish when I let Eve out to go potty. Real early morning birdsong! And I have one of those plastic sticks in the yard now that tells me that the lawn service has applied the first spring treatment.
What signs of spring have you noticed?
Beth has a picture of a crocus AND a bee!
Allyson has pictures of spring flowers in her very own garden!
Island Sparrow of A Sparrow's Home has compiled some lovely posts of spring popping up all over the blogosphere.
Janna's friend called her to tell her of the first robin of the spring and she was able to open her windows, smell real spring air and hear her neighbor's windchimes. Spring is coming to KS!

Hyacinth! You walk by them and they just smell...aaaahhhh...Mmmmmm...
This, coming from a lady who doesn't like to wear any scent; hairspray, cosmetics, etc., must all be unscented for me.
I guess God's cornered the market on what sorts of fragrances I like.
I love hyacinth, too. We had some planted along a brick walkway near our deck when we lived in Lancaster, PA and I loved to sit there with my coffee and just breathe in the fragrance. I also had them planted right alongside my front door and more than one vistor commented on the fragrance. I think I need some hyacinth at this house. Wonder if its too late to put them in this year and hope for blooms.
A friend of mine called me last weekend to tell me she had seen her first robin. :) I love looking for them too. Another sign of spring here in KS is that last night I had my windows open and was able to hear the windchimes from the neighbors house and smell the smell of spring air!
Oh, I just adore your bunnies! I collect them too. My fave? hmmm... that's a hard one! I just love them all, and so enjoy inspecting their intricate uniqueness. I think that gardenias probably offer my favorite scent though.
Hi Beth!
Welcome! I'm glad you left a comment!
I love gardenias, too. I just realized I can't even think of smelling them with out closing my eyes as if I really was smelling them, isn't that funny?
Has anyone else had that experience?
