Having never grown (ranunculi) [***it has now fully opened and revealed itself to be a beautiful Anemone poppy***] before, nor even seen them in real life, I am *surprised* and amazed at each stage as it unfolds. I feel as if I'm witnessing a miracle in my own backyard as God's creative hand reveals itself day by day in stunning ways.
From when I first laid eyes on the ranunculi "claws" I have been happily perplexed and enjoying their uniqueness as they have slowly grown.
Taken in this morning's early light, the first bud, like a deep pink face shyly hiding under a bright frilly bonnet.
A tulip bud lies still snuggled down amongst its sheltering leaves.

Can you believe the beauty of this little miniature? Muscari, or Grape Hyacinth, actually belongs to the Lily family,
a native of the Mediterranean area and Asia minor.
In the garden bed above, and in a pot as below, these are tiny yet truly magnificent.
Miracles {and surprises} in my own backyard........

I have got a ranunculi emerging too... bring on spring and all the little miracles.
beautilful miracles! have a nice day! :)
Miracles indeed. These photos are just gorgeous. I've never seen grape hyacinths before and I think they are just beautiful!
That mini is quite astonishing. You do have a backyard full of miracles (and a house full of them too). ;)
Exquisite captures and we do indeed live in a world full of miracles -- if we just take the time to look for them! You always find them! Have a beautiful weekend!
love your growing miracles...
really miracle ;)
Ranunculi are wonderful aren't they? Your pictures make me dream of spring already but we first have fall and winter to go through ;-) I can smell a bit of fall in the air already, especially early in the morning. Do you have that too, that you can sense a changing of seasons even when the new season isn't there yet?
Have a wonderful weekend!

I've never even heard of ranunculi. Will you post a picture of it in full bloom? And the muscari? You captured the exquisiteness of this little treasure. It's so close to the ground most people never notice. Thank you for the reminders.
Yum. Gorgeous. I always enjoy these favorites; you've captured them beautifully.

Hi, back again after being a bit under the weather. As per usual, enjoying each and every one of your photos. Really love all of these close ups - it feels like they're right in front of me tangibly.
Love that little grape hyacinth! Made me smile.:-) I hope you post a picture of the ranunculi in full bloom as I don't believe I've ever seen one. So pretty!
Simply beautiful color and detail. I love the soft focus quality!
Breathtaking beautiful miracles growing in your very own garden!
We need to take more time to see the every day miracles happening right around us, that we tend to take for granted!
Spectacular macros!
Grape hyacinths are such sweet little flowers! And our daughter, not one to want the traditional roses in a bridal bouquet, used to say she wanted ranunculi. They really are lovely! Great photos!
Beautiful buds and blooms, those little grape hyacinths are such a pretty colour.
Wonderful shots as always! I especially like the green tulip bud...fabulous!!!
