3.24.2012 While visiting my mother in Interlaken, NY, I took a photo of these first apple blossoms I have seen!! The flowering trees were sensational. Unfortunately, there will maybe be a freeze and snow in the following days per news tongiht (3/29/12).... The magnolias are already brown from a freeze 2 nights ago and perhaps these are gone.... but I CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF THESE BLOSSOMS & THANK MARTIAN CAT FOR HER CARE, HUMOR, BEAUTY, AND MUCH WORK THAT SHE SHARES INDIVIDUALLY AND IN THE GROUPS ON FLICKR!! Thank you friend. May your life continue to blossom!!.

3-12-2012 I was searchiing for THIS FLOWER WHEN I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OTHER FLOWERS BLOOMING E-A-R-L-Y.....

Chrisser, is this Glory of the Snow? Thanks friend!! It has been a few years since I last kept a running log of names!! It's basically wild... in the lawn & frost hardy.

The lighting was such that these delicate light purple flowers were hard to get --- the blossoms are included!!

YEAAA -- the heart of the explorer found her quest.
