...bring May flowers, so it's said. I'm glad we don't have to wait until next month for flowers; their cheerful colors brighten up even these rainy days.
Spring's triumphant triumvirate is omnipresent - yellow daffodils, blue hyacinths, and red tulips are perennial favorites. But there's more:
Yellow primulas (or is it primuli?), pansies, crocuses (almost gone now), forsythia bushes...
Purple pansies, primulas, violets...
Pinkish violet heather...
White star magnolias...
...and of course green, everpresent in our area of the world. Lawn, winter grains, evergreen bushes and trees, and now leaves, shoots and buds newly appearing.
Rainbow colors down on earth that outlast temporary weather conditions - I'm so glad flowers exist!
Oh, and weather conditions were just right for a rainbow yesterday - a beautiful one, with a second partial rainbow faintly echoing its colors.

Oh what a mercy for flower pots this time of year else much of our yards would still be too cold to blossom forth. So many pastel shades in early bulbs and crocuses and tulips, as if the lack of daylight hours has given us pale reflections of full colours. I presume those full colours will be visited upon us later in the season. Pip, pip, tally ho and bob's your uncle.
I say, bloody unsportsmanlike to cut off one's name, eh? That's Emsworth and Viscount Bosham. And here's a few capital letters as well: C, T, E. Nothing to do with alien life either. Bother and baldernash.
