  1. My favorite spring flower would have to be the hyacinth. I have them in pink, white, yellow, and purple. I just hope this snow we just got didn’t kill them because they were already coming out the ground. The aroma of these beauties is wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful blog candy.

  2. My favorite spring time flower is any fake one since I appear to be allergic to all the real ones. I love the “desert marigolds” (not sure that’s their real name) that pop up in the most unexpected places around town. They are so pretty orange and yellow and I can admire them from the safety of my recycled air conditioned car.

  3. Love the Wisteria! The purple blooms fully cover the bush, the aroma is heavenly and carries into the house! It brings the black bumblebees buzzing and the will pollinate my tomatoe plants! Simply wonderful!

  4. Daffodil, iris, and lilac…so many spring flowers to choose from. Right now I think I am going to have to say tulip. Just because for the last five years my three tulips will start to bloom and then they are gone due to my pygmy goats having a snack! Maybe this year I will be lucky!

  5. The cheery, stalwart, bright yellow daffodils, aka “Daffy-down-dillys”, with their stiff backs to the wind as they herald the coming of Spring, are my favourite flower. 😀

  6. Hi Mary. I’ve got to go with peonies. So beautiful but they don’t stick around for too long. Thanks for the chance to win.

  7. Lilacs are my favorite! They arrive mid-May to late-May in Southern Wisconsin. Although after the winter we have had, they will probably arrive in late June. 🙂

  8. Hi!

    The image in my head of the citrus trees/aroma in Tuscon is making me feel like it’s spring,except for the fact that our temp is currently about 6 degrees and we have feet of snow on the ground.

    On the flowers – my fav would have to be the little crocus that managed to be the first to pop through the ground (at least here in Michigan)every spring. A burst of color after a long winter with so much snow. Can’t wait to see them this year after so much snow. I just, for the first time in months, was able to see the back and top of my mailbox – just last week. 🙂 We still have three or more feet of snow on the ground, piles from plowing are still 10 plus feet tall…..but, I’m looking for that little crocus!!! Spring can’t get here quick enough!! 🙂

  9. Daffodils top my list. They bring Spring to life with a smile. Add bonus, the hungry deer leave them alone!

  10. BRIGHT AND SUNNY YELLOW. YELLOW AND GREEN ARE MY FAVORITE COLORS SO ANY YELLOW SPRING FLOWER WOULD BE A FAVORITE. YELLOW TULIPS, YELLOW DAISIES, YELLOW DAFFODILS. AFTER THE LONG COLD WINTER IN THE MID WEST ANY SPRING FLOWER IS SURE TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY! CAN’T WAIT!!!

  11. My favorite are the daffodils! They start popping through the hard ground very early and may even get snowed on here in Illinois. But they perservere and come through every year. So gorgeous and inspiring! Just like you Mary! Thank you for all you do!

Mary if you have never been to the Skagit Valley tulip festival when you’ve been to Seattle, you must plan a trip sometime in the spring. The rows and rows of colorful tulips are breathtaking and make wonderful photo ops! Thanks for the blog candy 🙂

  30. My favorite is the narcissus, here they are early spring. I love their smell, it reminds me of childhood when they grew along the side of our house. I planted them so when I am sitting and eating breakfast I look out to see them each morning, even when it’s raining!

    Reply
  31. Hello Mary – I love trillium. In the park near our house, we get to see big patches of white and purple ones. They are so gorgeous and we are trying to grow them in our yard. Hope Spring gets here soon. It’s too cold! Love your blog & S.U.! Take care!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful projects over the years and yeah!!!on your new craft room cabinets…that’s awesome!

  41. Lilacs are by far my favorite spring time flower! We have 4 bushes beside our north window, so we really get to enjoy the sweet scent as they bloom! Thanks for the chance at some sweet spring time swag!

  42. Love all spring flowers , they let you know its a new beginning . The azaleas , daffodils, hyacinths, japanese magnolia, citrus trees, star glazer lily. Amarillas,
    Easter lily, pecan trees when they start to bud you know spring has arrived.

    Reply
  43. My favorite flower is tulips (like so many others). I even had my bridal bouquet in tulips, it was a bit challenging since they wilt so easily but it was gorgeous. But I agree with you, when I lived in AZ (phoenix) I just LOVED the orange blossoms. No one (yankee candle etc.) can quite capture that smell properly. True confession – my first year in AZ, I even brought in a beautiful bouquet of the orange blossoms…my DH about died – he informed me that those beautiful flowers were next year’s fruit….uggggg – I cut off all our fruit! Ha Ha! Who knew???? Thanks for your blog and the opportunity for your candy.

  44. All of the Dogwood trees and Forsythia is blooming, but I keep checking my garden for the large patch of Lily of the Valley. They pop up next to the Sweet William but we have had 2 late winter ice storms, I am hoping they weren’t destroyed by them.
    I love Lily of the Valley! My hubby stole a piece from my Lily of the Valley filled bouquet to wear on his lapel on our wedding day soon to be 20 years ago.
    The flowers look so delicate when in fact they feel quite firm. Each little bell is perfectly shaped no matter how small they are. They also have a gentle, sweet scent. I just love them!

  45. The simplicity of a Tulip with it’s vibrant color is a sure sign of Spring! I truly love the deep hues that just shout, “Look at Me”!

  46. My favorite spring flower is the tulip! Last fall, I planted over 70 tulip bulbs on my hands and knees and I could barely walk for a week! I really hope I will win the blog candy but I also hope those tulips come up when the snow melts!

  50. It’s hard to choose between Bleeding Hearts, so delicate, or lilacs with their great fragrance! Here in MN, spring has some time yet to get here, lots of snow piles around and still in the 20’s and 30’s!! Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy!

  51. My favorite springtime flower is the crocus. They are such a welcome little spring flower after a long winter of no color.

  55. I love daffodils, but will it ever get warm enough for them to push up through the ground? Iowa is having an extremely cold and snowy time of it right now.

  56. Hello Mary … my favorite flowers are the tulips. Love, Love, Love Springtime. But actually, here in Missouri I would love to see any kind of flower that is not white — soooo tired of our snow this year — Bring on Spring please (they expecting some more snow tonight).

    Reply
  57. My favorite Spring flower is the old fashioned butter and eggs. It has two shades of yellow. We transplanted some from my Mama’s house last year and they bloomed just this week. Good memories.

    Reply
  58. Mary: Thanks for the opportunity to win some “candy”. I have two favorites, the first is the daffodils. My late husband and I planted hundreds of daffodil bulbs in our woods when we moved in 19 years ago. We transplanted them from the side & front yard. They really brighten up the backyard and woods when they bloom. All we see is YELLOW dancing flowers from our family room. The second is the Lilly of the Valley. My mother’s favorite also. She is in a nursing home with dementia and as soon as the flowers bloom, I pick a bunch and take to her. When we walk in with the flowers, she gets a big smile on her face and I let her smell the bunch before I place them in the vase. I am anxious for the snow to melt and the sun to warm the soil so the plants can poke through the ground and brighten up the yard.

    Reply
  59. Tulips are my favorite – considering the numerous colors and varieties! However, living in the North – ANY flower by the time Spring rolls around is EXTREMELY appreciated and LOVED! I have never been to Arizona and am unfamiliar with citrus tress. However they sound lovely. Will have to put a visit into my “bucket list”. Thank you for this chance to win! Happy Spring!

    Reply
  60. My favorite spring flower is any that is in bloom, so it changes as the spring progresses. Right now it is daffodils. Don’t they just scream sunshine! Tulips are simply a riot of color. Lilacs smell so wonderful. It is all good. Thanks for all your inspiration and the opportunity for blog candy.

  61. I love to see the precious faces on my pansies in the spring. The ones that have gone “wild” are small and delicate. They make me smile. I enjoy seeing the amazing cards that you post on a daily basis. I don’t know how you do it but I love it.

  62. Thanks for the great chance at blog candy Mary! My favorite springtime flower is lilacs! Just love them. Have many different varieties in our yard in many colors.

  63. My all-time favorite flower is the rose — I love the challenge of growing them. But my all time spring flower has got to be the crocus. I live in Florida now . . . but when I lived in the north the crocus would pop up to remind me that spring really was coming.

    Reply
  64. I’m always happy to see our crocus blooming….we have them scattered in the yard and over the years they have multiplied, so now there are beautiful little bouquets all over.

  68. I am with you Mary! My favorite spring time flowers are tulips. I live in Phoenix, AZ now, but when I lived in Utah, seeing the tulips bloom in the spring gave me hope that the cold winter was subsiding, and summer was just around the corner! I love your work, and follow your blog pretty religiously!

  71. March has always been my Daffodil month – a favorite flower and in many areas a sign that the Cancer Society has been busy and adding to their donations for local patient services. Of course living where I do in Southern Oregon my favorite “flower” is the flowering out of the Pear trees as Spring gets ready to to be sprung. Not sure if tree’s count though as flowers and I am enjoying my Daff’s in bloom in the front yard.
    Thanks dear Mary for sharing the goodies and directing our thoughts to the wonderful sights and fragrances of Spring.

  73. Living in the Northwest, any bulb peeking from our garden beds is a favorite of mine long before we treasure the beauty of their flowers. Seeing the green sprouts popping from the ground is a joyful moment that spring and summer is beginning !!! I am not a native of the northwest, I am a California girl, so the joy of sunshine and the sound of sprinklers warms my heart.

Would love to have the stamp set as I’m in charge of invitations for my daughter’s baby shower (‘sprinkle’ is more like it in California this year!) and the umbrella would be a cute central stamp. Good luck to all who have entered!

  102. I love all flowers, so it is hard to choose one, but if forced, I would have to say Lilacs. I love them except, like so many, their blooming cycle is so short. I like flowers that bloom as much do the year as possible, which is why I have close to 50 rose bushes and then add a few flats of Zinneas to cover the dirt.

  110. Sweetpeas are my most favorite flower. The sad thing is that they are hard to find. When we lived in Japan, I could purchase them at the produce stands but only for a couple of months. I love them because they come in so many beautiful colors (bright colors and pastels), and they are very fragrant. The only place I have found them here in the US is at the Flower Fields in Carlsbad, CA. They have a maze made of sweetpeas.

  111. My favorite flower would be purple tulips. But I love any flowers that I receive. I am especially fond of paper flowers now.

  126. Daffodils are just so cheerful, and they come along even before Spring has officially arrived. We have daffodil festivals in my neck of the woods, Tidewater, Virginia. I was lucky enough to see the last of the English Lake Country daffodils (Wordsworth’s home) a few years ago – that was indeed special for me. I have loads of daffodil stories!! But I also delight in your cards – your emails are some of the first I read each morning. And what a generous give away. Happy, happy, hippity hoppity Spring!

She isn’t a “single” flower,she has lots of company and smells wonderful most of the year, her name is Lavender and is very popular here in Washington, she even has her own festival in Sequim.The yellow daffodil does brighten up anyone’s day with her cheerful color. My favorite flowers are carnations, so far though I’ve only seen many beautiful little crocus and a small tiny daisy. I would say is difficult to choose just one.

I just wish they bloomed a bit longer!

She had white bearded iris in flower beds on both sides of the backdoor steps. She would let us pick them and put them in a glass of colored water (water colored with food coloring). We would watch in wonder as the white petals turned into the color of the colored water. We could make any color of iris we wanted, and some of our colored iris were pretty unusual! We knew Spring was here when the iris bloomed. Happy Spring to you!

Not only is this flower easy to grow throughout most of the country (including semi-arid areas like where you live), but it also has a few attributes similar to Stampin’ Up!, such as it’s name and shape. Stampin’ Up! has “Primrose Petals”, a delightful spring color from the 2012-2014 In Colors Collection and this beautiful flower is called “Siebold Primrose”. The “Siebold Primrose” is a starry-five petaled flower, just like the Stampin’ Up! 5-Petal Flower Punch (retired). I love how we can find our hobbies in nature!!

  259. Since I’m living the frozen north, any flower would be glorious. Although, I would have to say that my favorite is the hyacinths. I love their smell! Thank you for all the wonderful cards and ideas.

  260. Very “Springy” Blog Candy. The crocus is my favorite and probably the earliest of all Spring flowers. I used to pick three each Spring from the hill pasture behind our home, then gift God’s flowers to my mother.

  261. I love lilacs. My aunt (a second mother to me) had them in her yard. I used to spend a lot of time with her and their smell brings back
    wonderful memories.

  262. Mary – I am really a lover of all flowers. Living in the Pacific Northwest, when I see the wild rhododendrons blooming I know that we can count on spring to be right around the corner. However, when I was growing up, I lived in Eastern Washington and the lilacs there were just amazing. And the smell filled the air with the greatest perfume. And I did hook up with Nadie. Thanks so much!!!

  266. My favorite spring time flower? Well I actually have more than one. I love the bright fresh look of Tulips in all of the colors & varieties but I also like the “happy” yellow color of Daffodil’s. But I would have to say that my most favorite flower that comes in the spring is the Pansy! I love, love, love the cute colorful “faces” of the Pansy. It reminds me of my Grandmother. She had so many of these darling little colorful flowers in her yard and whenever I look at Pansies it reminds me of her:)

    Reply
  267. My favorite Spring flower is the Snow Bell. These courageous, tiny souls peek out before any crocus, tulip, hyacinth or daffodil dares. They battle multiple snowfalls ready to manifest themselves when the sun reduces some of the snow’s layers to equalize the “growing field” a little. They are the “warm-up” act for the others! Love them.

  268. Having lived in the South in the past, I love it when the Dogwood trees bloom. There is a sea of pink and white everywhere. It is especially nice when all of the other spring flowers bloom at the same time, when the weather is just right.

    Reply
  279. Are there any more beautiful springtime flowers than the tulip? Personally, I don’t think so. They are not too elegant, too romantic, too big, too small, or too bright; the tulip is always just right. They are like a favorite pair of jeans or your mom’s fresh-baked cookies in that the meanings of tulips express genuine coziness and comfort in all of the right ways. Happy spring stamping friends!

  396. Definitly Daffodils are my favorite spring flower. They are so bright and cheerful and last a long time here in the north.

  397. Hyacinth is my favorite spring flower. It is one of the first to bloom in my gardens, and I can’t get enough of the sweet scent and the lovely pastel pinks and purples after a long, cold winter.

  398. I get excited each time I see a new bud popping through the snow. Today the hyacinths are peeking through. I’d have to say though that I especially love tulips. They’re even a meditation visual I use and once was my personalized license plate.

    Reply
  401. I love many different flowers for many different reasons. Crocus: they hold the promise of spring even if snow is still on the ground; Tulips: they come in so many shapes, sizes and colors; Daffodils: because they will naturalize; Red Bud Trees: for their beautiful delicate flowers & because my Mom loved them; Lilacs: for their tiny flowers but huge fragrant impact; … and so on and so forth. Thanks for the chance to win, it’s so very generous.

  408. One more vote for the daffodils! One reason is being that the deer won’t feast on them like they do on most of the other spring flowers. It may be June in our part of the world before we see them this spring with the winter we have had. Thanks again for the wonderful blog and sharing both your talent and those of your pals. You are truly an inspiration to all of us who follow you. Can’t wait to see your new craft space. Oh, and thanks for the opportunity to win blog candy.

  414. Oh my gosh…so many beautiful flowers to choose from. I lived in Mississippi for a few years then back to Arizona. The flowers there were gorgeous with no effort to grow. I loved the buttercups, the azaleas, crepe myrtle, lilies, gladiolas, butterfly bush, and so many more. But one of my favorite blooms to admire is the iris. I never knew how many colors they come it. I so miss all the flower beds I had back there. The tulips were one of the earliest to come up in early spring. I have seen them come up and bloom through the snow. Also the crocus. Spring always put a smile on your face after a dreary winter.
