Muscari or grape hyacinth – a spring favorite
The reason? It’s well past Christmas, the cold weather has set in, the post-holiday bills are due, the unwanted pounds have piled on, and spring is a long way off.
The first day of spring (Spring Equinox) is March 20 this year. But it isn’t really spring until the nice weather gets here around mid-April. (Until then, I call it mud season.)
I know a lot of people get the winter blues – luckily I’m not one of them. But if you’re feeling blue, here are some blue (or bluish) spring flowers to cheer you up.
I love crocuses, among the first flowers of spring
Daffodils with scilla. I usually plant the daffodil bulbs deep and add the smaller scillas on top, so they’ll bloom together
Euphorbia polychroma creates a lovely compliment for the blues: here Anemone blanda (front) plus muscari

I’m glad I don’t suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, as well…but I definitely see how people can get down. Love the blooms…definitely makes me excited for spring
Oh, thank you Yvonne!
Such gorgeous pics. Like you, I don’t agree that spring (or any other season) starts on a certain day. It is spring when the weather says spring.
How could anyone feel sad with blues like that..great photos
