Spring Flowers

 My Hyacinth had a pretty good spring.
Their color was vibrant, a very deep purple,
with the typical highlights along the edges.
The flower itself was strong and healthy looking.
I have several along both sides of the fence line.




The 400 Tulips that the hubs planted did not do well at all.
We had 2 consecutive days of 90 + degree weather,
just as they were starting to bloom.
Plus, apparently we have deer in our neighborhood...
it's crazy.
But, people are picking up video of deer on their ring doorbells.

This is what they usually look like, this picture is from the spring of 2022!

We are working on taxes today, 
business and personal, our accountant always waits until the last minute!

Hello,
Lovely spring flowers. The deer do love to eat, sorry about your tulips! Have a great day and happy week ahead.

It certainly looks like something has been nibbling on those tasty green tulip plants!

Oh my are the Hyacinth's gorgeous, love that color. Bummer the tulips aren't doing as well. We saw a deer in our backyard when we first moved in but haven't seen one since, I think too much building going on, but what we do have now is coyote's, that is what is on everyone's ring camera's around here.
Sure hope the deer leave what you do have alone!
