Even although the weather forecast is for snow, Spring has most definitely sprung in Central Scotland. Here are a selection of Spring flowers photographs that I’ve taken over the last week:
Any signs of Spring where you are?

We’ve just headed into autumn on this side of the planet, I woke this morning to a distinct wintery chill in the air! Lucky winter’s my favourite season
It was spring here till today – now lashing rain and howling wind, March comes in like a lion.
I’m sorry; “spring,” did you say? No. We were blasted with another foot of snow this weekend, and the temperature hasn’t crested 25 degrees all day. I thought that NEW England and, well, OLD England had similar weather patterns, but I guess I was mistaken. I think you in Scotland have the benefit of the jet stream or something, because you’ve got flowers and we’ve still got lots and lots of snow…

Wow those are amazing! I would love to grow a little flower garden like my grandmother used to do. Always brightened my day to spend time there.

I was so ready for spring and just a couple of hours ago is started snowing in the Southside of Glasgow! My garden is white!
Amy, thanks for the hope of Spring and the huge smile it brought me! We had snow yesterday but the sun was out today and although cold there’s that hint of something Spring in the air. I can’t wait, it’s been a long, cold winter!

ARghh! (it’s painful to see those beautiful photos!)
Where I live in Canada, there’s three feet of snow on the ground and it’s going to minus 20C tonight.
(And what’s annoying is you’re probably further north than where I live!)
Funnily enough, Nicola, Autumn is actually my favourite season. I love the change of the colours, the nip in the air and first frost. Lovely
Doesn’t it just, Linda!
Yes, Mrs Chili, where oh where would Scotland be without the gulf stream? Well, most likely under several inches of snow!
I find having flowers around me lifts my spirits in a way nothing else quite matches, Lori. I think you should begin that garden, even if you just start with a couple of pots or a window box.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the weather forecast, Eilidh! No snow yet for Stirlingshire tho…
Spring is just around the corner, Karen. I just know it
It really is amazing how different our climate is because of that gulf stream, Friar. I for one am terribly grateful for it!
I love crocuses – one of my favourite moments each spring back in Toronto was seeing the crocuses peek up through the last bits of snow.
Here in the Basque Country, we’re well into spring, with the daffodils and irises blooming as well as the magnolias. Although today we’re back into wintery conditions (for us being heavy winds/rains hovering around 5C).

We had a bit of an icy blast yesterday too, Alex. Lovely blue skies today tho! Oh, and I thought you might like to check this out:

It’s a post of my dad’s in which he takes us along for a walk in Provence with his photographs.
This remeinds me of spring in Michigan. My favorite flowers are the crocus that are brave enough to be the first to break ground and peek from the snow. The daffodils are my “happy flower.”

I love crocuses too,Tess, although I reserve a special place in my heart for snowdrops
Last year at about this time I was inspired to write about the spring flowers in Bristol. Don’t forget to play the music.

Amy, these are drop dead gorgeous photos. Lovely light, rich color, strong composition.
I was quite surprised that Scotland is is full bloom already. Alas, there is no sign whatsoever of green here. We’re still trapped under a foot of snow and it’s 20 below Centigrade. Brr! But spring is just around the corner, right? Someone please tell Jack Frost to give it a rest!
Michael Gaudets last blog post..MichaelGaudet: @amypalko Amy, I was once advised to make three videos in a row, pick the best. It works pretty good for relaxing into it.
What stunning pictures!
Hi Amy,
Love the pictures. I’ve always liked flower photos. I did not know Spring came to Scotland so early. Very cool. The only thing blooming in my part of Maryland are the crocuses, which are very cool. Our trees finally have buds on them and should be blooming soon.
