4. Not spirea.

Very pretty, though.

Isn't spring wonderful?

5. I can't find the tag for this plant. Viburnum?

Do you know what it is?

I've just put up a post in the Gardening group to see if someone knows.

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. Laurel of some type?

Do you live in mountains or hills?

7. It's Pieris japonica. Didn't take 5 minutes to get an answer in the Gardening group!

Don't you just love DU'ers?

[Cracklin Charlie]

8. I never cease to be amazed.

9. I can hardly wait for spring.

The Pieris Japonicus is in the Heather family.

10. These are beautiful, mnhtnbb!

It felt like Spring here today; 68*

Can't wait for the flowers to spring, but it's a bit early for us yet.

11. Thanks for the pictures!

We just had another foot of snow yesterday, the unplowed parts of our yard are at least 3 feet deep and there's nothing but white as far as the eye can see. A little color is most welcome. It will be May before we see blooms like this.

12. I am so jealous...

Isn't it early, even for NC, to have anything blooming?

13. Really beautiful. . .

And photographed beautifully - love the color variations

14. Purple is such a lovely color.
