I HAVE PROBABLY POSTED THIS TITLE BEFORE – because it always snows on the daffodils, and that makes for some fun pictures. In PA where I went to college, this is called the Onion snow, because onions sets are usually in the ground by now. These are my onions, I put them in last week.
But, here in VA, when it snows in the end of March, it snows on much more than the onions, or daffodils, but the good thing is, the snow does not hang around. Often it barely covers the ground. So, I have learned to grab the camera early because sometimes the snow is gone by the time I hit ‘publish.’ So, I will share a bit of last snow beauty.
It is the time when many of the camellias are in bloom. Pink Perfection is probably my absolute favorite and I don’t remember seeing it in the snow before.
Red Emperor… Pink Precious… One of my own hybrids…
White on white (this is a 12 footer)… Snow on the forsythia… See the peonies coming up? Pansies…
Know what this is? Snow on the PussyWillow, up about 15 feet. The Redbud is starting to bloom, these will be flowers next week. And I love the pattern of snow on these branches.
When we flew our first flights over Libya, I bought a new Peace Rose bush as my prayer for Peace. I hope it does not fall on deaf ears.
The snow filled Buddha’s lap as he sat out back and reminded me to think thoughts of love and compassion, and it fell on St Francis as he watched over Spook taking a drink from the slightly slushy birdbath.
May thoughts of Peace and Compassion fill your heart this spring day. (Guess what? It is all melted – just that fast.)

Ah, but the snow was as beautiful while it was thankfully short-lived. Your flowers looked lovely (but cold) as were ours.
Never thought I'd say "I love snow" ever again but "I love the snow on your blooms. Just magical pretties. Your Snoop has unique coloring pattern on his face. I never knew camellias came in so many different colors either. They are gorgeous.
All I can say is...Beautiful! We got rain and hail but no snow.
The snow on your pink camellia is breath-taking. Today, (Monday) we actually had frost and I really hate what that might do to all the spring growth. I have my fingers crossed.
Best part about our snow is it's melted before i get out to clear it. Well sometimes not, if i'm really really fast :-)
Lovely photos. We had snow but it was gone by the time I was up and about. I do hope we have seen the last of that white stuff.
