More green-ish stuff...

The landlady plants flowers along the edge of the footpath, right outside my window here. I am not able to get down low, so I have been trying to shoot remotely, using a motorized tripod head on a Platypus Pro plate, standing on 3 spikes.
The method needs more work, since the whole contraption is rather unsteady - actually fell over once! It did allow me to get the low shots I was looking for, though.
Don't ask me what these are - yes, I know the big yellow ones are daffodils, but the others are, well, blue...
The neighbor's garden is actually at waist height, above the stone wall you can see in these. I tried my hand at some hand-held macro shots, but most of them were defeated by focus issues, plus a 15-mph wind... I will post some samples later.

Very nice. Just an FYI the blue ones are Grape Hyacinth.

Thank you. I figured someone would know! They *do* look a bit like bunches of grapes...

Thanks guys! I have been watching everyone else post their flower shots here for what seems like *ages*, while all we had was brown grass... We finally seem to be seeing a bit of Spring, although the forecast for the weekend is more like Winter, with overnight lows in the 20s...
