I've been a fan of cacti for years and never cease to be amazed by how many flowers a single small plant can produce. If only they weren't so prickly!

You may recall that my first April post was of a bee on a hyacinth. I don't know whether this is the same bee, but it's obviously enjoying nectar from a grape hyacinth. The flowers are pretty, but if we'd known how invasive they are, we might  not have planted them.

Rather than think about filing my tax return, I'd rather look at daffodils. They're such cheerful flowers, and while they come in many varieties, my favorites are still the original deep yellow ones.

One of my favorite early spring flowers are these dwarf iris. There also some yellow ones, but they tend to bloom later.

April showers bring May flowers -- or so the saying goes -- but some flowers don't wait for May to bloom. As you can see, a bee enjoyed this hyacinth.
