#1 red tulip with ‘blue grapes’ as we say. Translate says the flowers are called grape hyacinths.

Early blossoming pear tree. Just to share. No entry bc it’s not landscape.

I don't think it has to be landscape for this contest. I asked the mods for the wildlife contest and they said both portrait and landscape are acceptable.

@HorseGirlAbby?

Not an entry. Just sharing my Sensation Lilac. View attachment 3792983

If I ever move to someplace where they'll grow without fuss, I'm gonna plant the entire road facing property line with lilacs. Nothing smells like spring so much as driving along a country road with the windows down while these bushes are in bloom! I miss bringing in huge bouquets to smell up the house.

Yes, grape hyacinth a.k.a. muscari. I planted a couple dozen under a silver maple 10 or 15 years ago. We lost the tree in an ice storm a few years back but the front lawn is a sea of blue each spring with crests of white clover dotting throughout. The daffs, narcissi, hyacinths, tulips and small bulbs are kept to the edges or in beds.

They are amazing at announcing spring for sure. A slow drive in the country in spring sounds nice!
