Tulips, lilacs and irises
This top photo taken at the Pike Place Market flower vendors combined a display of two of my top fave flowers: tulips and lilacs. I am so happy that I planted some lilacs in our front yard and at least I had one bloom to smell as much as I wanted. Next year I’ll have more. But until they get going, I’m always happy to see them for sale, perfuming the air for all who pass by.
The photo under that one is buds of Dutch Iris. Sometimes I love the possibilities of the bud even more than I love the flower blooming.
Visit Mellow Yellow Monday, Color Carnival and Macro Monday. For Blue Monday, there are some blue iris buds peeking through in the bottom photo. Hope that qualifies!

I really like the iris buds! The color is so rich and pure…these are all begging to come to my house, I am sure!
I imagine the Dutch Iris will be just as beautiful as the tulips. I bought some purple tulips for my daughter.
What GORGEOUS flowers! They are some of my favorites.
Happy Blue Monday…
XO,
Sheila 🙂
Wonderful fresh springflowers, great combination on the first and the massive yellow on the second

I wish I had those bouquets here to brighten my home for a few days!
Lovely springflowers in yellow, it looks like fresh flowe marke in Bangkok too.

Yellow lupines—poisonous!
I’ve been to Pike’s Place and had a fish fly by me! Thanks for sharing and therefore reminding me of that fun time. Happy Blue Monday, Sara.
Gorgeous…and I bet it smelled wonderful too!
The flowers are just gorgeous! I really like the second one with the three primary colours anchored by green. Great shot. I’m at the parties of both Mellow Yellow Monday and Blue Monday this week.
Wow flowers are everywhere and they are so pretty!

Your blue makes my heart go pitter pat. I adore it.
Bonjour Sarah,
Very beautiful yellow flowers. I’m sure someone will snap them up in no time. Thanks for sharing.

I love your pictures, I have to admit tulips are my favorite flower next to day lilies.
Thanks for brightening my day.

Oh Sarah — you are going to make me cry! I’m happy exploring Florida but when I see the PNW spring flowers I do get homesick. Your pictures are beautiful. My MYM today is a Northwest reminiscence — and kind of a silly one at that; but I guess I must have been feeling a little “homesick” anyway .
Aren’t the scents and colours wonderful!?!
Lovely , lovely flowers !
