To quote Etta James — AT LAST!! These two irises bloomed today. By the count of other buds, there should be at least ten more blossoms in the next few days. Even though they are blooming a little later this year, it was worth the wait. The flowers are a deep dark purple this year — simply gorgeous!! #springinthehood #oklahoma #oklahomaspring #atlast #worththewait #irises #irisesofinstagram #purple #oklahomairises #gooddayinthehood #mademyday #oklahomasnapshots #bringiton #happyday (at McLoud, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNGllNRlefH/?igshid=7f2xv93xj91d

While out strolling yesterday afternoon, I noted that two of our huge crepe myrtle bushes are probably dead. I think the bad freeze we had last month got them. We have had one of them for almost 30 years. One of the redbud trees is starting to bloom. Dandelions are all over the yard. What a pretty sight!! I do not know what the little purple flower is, but it is pretty. Clover pods are popping up all over the property. We are still waiting on the irises to open. We have quite a few buds. I think spring has finally arrived in the ‘hood!! #oklahoma #oklahomasnapshots #spring #oklahomaspring #dandelions #dandelionsofinstagram #dandelionsarenotweeds #wildflowers #oklahomawildflowers #wildflowersofinstagram #purplewildflowers #purplewildflowersofinstagram #clover #redbud #redbudsofoklahoma #redbudsofinstagram #crepemyrtles #crepemyrtlesofinstagram #irises #irisesofinstagram (at McLoud, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNE09DLrt4E/?igshid=15cvtquzzygrg

I resisted, but it was really, really tough. You can be sure I’ll be going back for one of those plants that grows mojitos. #okc #oklahomaspring #growplants #localgrowers #classenblvd (at Brick's Garden Exchange) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMBDMwZh5NP/?igshid=1wuzeqj8gjsb4

Inspired by @avi_kaplan to pay tribute to spring in my yard. The azaleas are lush this year. #springtime #springflowers #azaleas #oklahomaspring #lakeliving #grandlakeoklahoma #oklahoma (at Coots Family Lake Cabin) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5ISwVga3k/?igshid=11xnspw76cfuh
