There is something new just past the entrance to the trail.
People tend to throw their yard waste into this area as it looks untended and abandoned. (Actually it is owned and/or managed by a logging company.) This means that any bulbs that are discarded in the waste have a good chance of coming up…blooming where they are “planted”, as it were!
Hoping the weather is bright and warm wherever you are this weekend.
Rock on,
The WB
Pretty find! I love bulbs. I have a heap planted in our yard, but the place where they are planted is now destined for other things, so I will have to replant. They were probably getting to the end of their lives anyway (at least, I’ll tell myself that!).
My mom once threw some unwanted iris bulbs across the street into the vacant land there (we lived right on the edge of town). I saw those irises come up every year of my life, while at that house 🤣. They (or their descendants) would probably be still coming up if the land hadn’t been disturbed to put in a driveway. I don’t know if bulbs have an end-of-life. Thanks, AJ 💕
Hi Deb and Bowser – well spotted … I love the bulbs appearing through the grass, undergrowth and in our gardens … it’s a wonderful time of the year – cheers Hilary
It certainly is! Thanks, Hilary 💕
Who in the world throws out flower bulbs?
Nice to see a little hint if things to come though…
We had an inch of slushy snow yesterday so that’s still a way off for us.
🥴
Well, I’m going to be throwing some out…there are some irises coming up in my backyard. I don’t like irises much to begin with, but especially since they were a passion of a creepy dentist I used to go to. Ugh…I don’t need to be reminded of Dr. Cop-A-Feel every time I go into the backyard. But other than irises, I agree with you! I wonder if they were thrown out accidentally when some soil was dug up. Thanks, Rivergirl 💕
I have a patch of the small Japanese iris that I like. But the big ones can get unruly fast…
Happy Sunday Bowser
Thanks, Sheree 💕

I have noticed that dogs yawn and stick their tongue out a lot, based on the photos I have of Maya! Sometimes it’s funny, but when it’s the only family photo I take in an area, it’s annoying! And, I only see it afterwards when flipping through the photos, of course. 🙂
Me too! It happens so fast I only notice it when I am editing photos. Thanks, Liesbet 💕
At my old house I had a lot of “volunteer” plants and bulbs that came up in the field behind my house where I threw out potted plants and deadheads from potted gift plants.
Bowsers got all kinds flowers to look forward to this summer. He’s not a year old yet, is he?
Bowser turns a year old on April 3! I have to plan a little “party” for him and me, since his parents will be vacationing in Hawaii during that time. I’ll try to remember to document it for the blog. Thanks, Jean 💕
Here it’s nice and bright, thanks to the bright snow that keeps coming! As the song goes, “… although the snow covers the hope of spring.”
We had an accumulation of sleet/snow yesterday! That’s just rude, in my opinion 😉. Thanks, Jane 💕
Yikes! We expect it here, but not on the Island! But you’re talking about bulbs, so that has to be a good thing!
Yes, what happened yesterday won’t hurt anything that’s come up so far…especially any flowering bulbs. Hopefully it melts before the day is out.
That’s one perfect tongue out photo. Well done even if it wasn’t intended. Sunny here today, so I’m out the door for a walk. Happy Sunday, Deb
They look like a version of crocuses. Would that bulbs or any flowers grow even if treated well at my place. I put loads of things in place, and they never make it.
And no one else commented, but I will. You had a dentist who did that? WTF.
Yes, I did. And I didn’t even know the extent of it until I got another dentist and realized this one didn’t have to lean his arm on my chest in order to work on my mouth. My new dentist didn’t rake my body with his eyes either, and make creepy comments to me.
I thought they were crocuses too. Thanks, Bernie 💕
Thank heavens you moved along and found someone new. That’s so creepy.
He is so adorable. And he staring at you. My doggie is staring at me.Anita
Thank you, Anita 💕
9C predicted for today (and hopefully climbing from there).
I look forward to seeing Bowser soon!!
He’s looking forward to seeing you too! Thanks, my friend 💕
The first flowers of the spring are always special. Even Bowser thinks so!
Bowser appreciates flowers. Who knew?! 😁 Thanks, Kate 💕
Yay! Flowers. That means spring is right around the corner for you guys!!
(Peanut tries to eat my flowers, so there’s usually an argument in the garden!! LOL)
Spring is here! Been great weather the past couple of days – 15C and sunny! Peanut sounds like a character 😁. Thanks, Suz💕
