Here Comes the Sun... (3)

Day 3
The past couple of days have been pretty rainy and cold, but my school wasted no time in planting flowers throughout campus as soon as March 21st rolled around.  I picked this one, but it broke off at the stem too high up, so instead of putting it in a vase, I cut it even closer to the top and put it in here.  
Even though they're not my favorite (Sunflowers are), I always loved these kinds of flowers when I was a kid, and my dad used to tell me they were called Easter Lilies,  (They're not...but they grow right around Easter, so the name is pretty fitting) so that's what I still call them.
I know that it's snowing in some places today, which is pretty sad considering April is in a week.  Hopefully Spring will show its face soon!
What are your favorite flowers?  Is the weather nice where you're at?

    My school just planted them everywhere on the first day of spring. I love it!! :)
    Lilacs and Jasmine are both amazing - I love how they both smell!
    And I agree - I can't wait for warm weather either!

    Beautiful! I like Memory Keeper's Daughter so far. I just read White Oleander, which was exceptionally well written and heavy...so I think I'm still coming down from that.

    Thanks :)
    And I'll have to pick it up at the school library after I'm finished with Anna Karenina (not a difficult read, per se, but it's taking me forever) - hopefully they'll have it!
    I haven't heard of White Oleander. I'll have to check that out as well
    Thanks again :)

    I love that it's floating like that. Prettier than a vase! :)

    Thanks Kelly :) I actually only did that because when I picked the flower, I picked it too far up, so the stem was too short to put in a vase. So instead of picking another flower, I just did that. :)
    Thanks for commenting!
