Another picture of spring tulips!

Beautiful yellow prairie flowers!

Magnolia trees are beautiful–ours is only a couple years old, and seems to really bloom nicely every other year. This picture is from last year when there were tons of blooms on it; currently, there’s only a couple of buds getting ready to bloom.

I love tulips; the huge array of colors, and how they are some of the first flowers to appear.

I wish I could be more specific, but I’m not sure what kind of flower this is–these are found in northern Minnesota, in the fall.

I don’t quite have blooming tulips yet–this picture was from a couple of years ago. So bright and colorful!

No, these pictures aren’t from this year–I just checked and no sign of crocus or tulips coming up yet. I took these in mid-April, in 2011…so hopefully that means we’re just a couple weeks away!

With a recent high temperature into the 60s, Minnesota has already gotten a brief taste of summer…at least until the next weather forecast. Looking at these pictures of summer flowers, it still seems a long ways off…
