Summer is here and so are these flowers that wait for summer to emerge. We have a cluster of these plants and soon they will be loaded with flowers.
They have never let us down so far. They are hardy flowers and remain on the plant for months.
What's new in your garden

Despite being here for so many years I have yet to realise that you guys have to wait for the snow to melt.

You can say that again. Funny things are happening here too. Can you post a photo of your grape hyacinth?

I know. You have to wait for the snow to melt. What are your plans when the ground is ready?

@drannhh Thanks. I do have a passion for photography but sometimes I feel lazy. You are right. My post should have shown this image.

@allknowing Beautiful. When the flowers start to appear usually there will be only a few of them.Here I see many flowers. 
Waiting to see the appearance of the plants when they are loaded with flowers.

Year in and year out we see this but there is no decrease in our excitement when we see that first flower

But all that must have given you excitement when you saw them blooming for the first time. Every year it happens but there is that element of happiness when we see them blooming.

@allknowing I always love to see the flowers blooming and even more seeing my vegetables growing.

That aloe vera plant must be pretty old. I too have aloe vera plants but I have not seen any flowers on them.
