Bu...Your photos are absolutely beautiful as usual! But I am sorry to say, I think your flower identification skills need some work! <BR/><BR/>Here are my educated guesses as to the species you present today, from the top of your post to the bottom:<BR/><BR/>pic 1:<BR/>Magnolia, possibly Star magnolia? They bloom pretty early.<BR/><BR/>pics 2 & 3:<BR/>These pink and white beauties are not dogwoods, which mostly haven't bloomed yet, but rather something in the Prunus family -- which includes cherries, plums, almonds, apricots, and others. Portland is *full* of various kinds of flowering cherry, which bloom early and which these might be.<BR/><BR/>pic 4:<BR/>Here I have no quarrel, these are indeed daffodils!<BR/><BR/>pic 5:<BR/>These are crocuses, not snowdrops. Snowdrops have several small, nodding flowers in a bunch.<BR/><BR/>pic 6:<BR/>Again, I'd say this is a magnolia! <BR/><BR/>There are lots of helpful photographs of trees, shrubs, and other landscape plants at OSU's Department of Horticulture: http://oregonstate.edu/dept/ldplants/<BR/><BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to your next post full of photos, even if they're not of lovely flowers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
