Blooms in February...

Yes… it still feels a bit crazy that flowers are blooming even though it’s only the end of February. I had been watching them for two weeks (click here to refresh your memory - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), but back then they were small and hesitant, as if unsure whether it was really their time to appear. But last Saturday the flowers had no doubts anymore. They were growing confidently, looking as if it were already the end of March rather than the last days of February.

 

So I strolled along the trails in the Denver Botanic Garden and kept finding more and more blooms that seemed to defy the calendar. Crocuses were everywhere - blue, purple, yellow, white - small splashes of color scattered across the garden.

Dwarf irises were there too… along with snow crocuses, snowdrops, and even daffodils. Yes, daffodils! A whole patch of them in full bloom.

Let me invite you to walk with me and take a look at the beautiful flowers I found on the very last day of February in the garden. Sometimes nature decides to ignore the calendar and simply follow its own rhythm… and when that happens, all we can do is slow down, look around, and enjoy the unexpected beauty ;)
