Thank you for your kind remarks.
Well, my amateur status as a photographer is no greater than my amateur status as a botanist. I misspoke yesterday. I had an image in mind of a flower I described as a narcissus but I was really imagining a hyacinth, like these. I knew that, and it bugged me as I walked the neighborhood last night. I intended to correct my misstatement this morning. As I explored a little, I found out that I *have* taken pictures of narcissuses, and lots of them. I have just been associating them with the common name "daffodil". I had no idea. So here are a couple shots of local narcissuses, so cheery and showy. I'll try again on the hyacinths and I promise more tulips to come. I saw some beauties yesterday.

Beautiful! Thanks for posting them.
I'm think'in The tulips don't seem to mind the rain at all so why should I? In fact they seem perfectly happy to be cold and wet all the time. |

You're welcome.
It has been a pretty wet Spring, so far. Saturday was sunny and warm (73 deg F) and I got a chance to work in the back yard. But that was an exception weather-wise. I lately all my picture safaris are under cloudy skies. *sigh*

All of the pictures are very reminisce of Georgia O'Keefe. I love her paintings of flowers and have styled much of my art work after hers.
Flowers are always fun to take. These below were taken in Mexico and I have no idea what they are, but the colors are wonderful.

Tree Fae, the latanas are beautiful!
Clodfobble, *thank you* for that identification. I have always marveled at that blossom, but didn't know what it was.
