These names are wonderful, but we don't all know what each other's spring flowers look like. If any of you use the Google images feature, you might make a link to what you think are typical examples of the flowers you're talking about.

Here's a redbud flower and leaf. And here's grape hyacinth. My Texas star hibuscus (in the mallow family) is just starting to send up new stalks from the roots. It'll bloom when the summer gets real hot.
