Flowers

It's hard not to take flower photos in the spring. And spring starts early here in Victoria, with Christmas Roses (Hellebores)

Daffodils are a clearer sign of spring. Lots of different kinds.

Tulips and Hyacinths come after the daffodils.

Different trees blossom at different times.

The Red-flowering Currant is always a nice splash of color.

The Red Deadnettle come out early. I'm sure most people think of them as weeds, but I like their tiny flowers.

Speaking of weeds, I thought this was interesting looking, but I think it's chickweed.

There's a patch of Perennial Cornflowers by the walkway. I saw the buds first and wasn't sure what they were.

The Camas have just recently started flowering. I should get over to Beacon Hill park to see the big meadows of them. Camas were first called lilies, then hyacinths, and now they've been classified with asparagus. Notice the aphid near the top. I didn't spot it till I was looking at the photos on the computer.
