With temperatures fluctuating between 70 degree sunny days and 40 degree snow flurries, we can be sure that springtime in Virginia is upon us! In spite of the cold nights, we’re having a very warm (though windy) day on the farm and decided to further document some springtime signs. If you read our previous blog “Spring Has Sprung!“, you can tell that we were very eager for warmer weather. Hopefully these telltale signs of spring mean that winter is almost done and the groundhog was actually right!
If you visit our Facebook page, you’ll even get a chance to watch some video that we took of our early spring on the farm!
What are the purple flowers at the top and bottom?The ones at the top I have growing around my house.
The purple flowers shown in the picture above are crocuses and the white and purple flowers at the bottom are crested irises. They are always some of the fist signs of spring as, like the daffodil pictured in the middle, they are both bulbs that bloom in the spring. You can post pictures of the ones blooming in your yard to our Facebook page if you’d like, we’d love to see them! Have a great spring and enjoy the first flowers of the season!
