Signs of Spring

This beautiful pot of daffodils is on the way to Oldest's school. I can't imagine how many bulbs the owner put in, but it is beautiful. I am envious of it.
I have no idea what that tree is. I am in love with those giant pink flowers though. When I first saw them, I was sure that they were crepe paper flowers, but as I drove past it a few more times and the flowers were still there after it rained, I decided they were real. Amazing.
I have always wanted a tree in my yard that flowers, and now I have one! I am not really sure what this is either, but I love all the popcorn that will stay around for about 6 weeks (or so I'm told.)

My tulips are almost ready to bloom. I can't wait, they are my favorite.

What are the things that signify the start of spring for you?

Spring has already come and gone here, now I"m watering the lawn daily and working on my tan. But there is something so magical about all the blossoms. Popcorn Popping was such a weird song to me as a kid, now I get it!!!

You'll have to do a pot of bulbs next year too. Those are beautiful!
