That is so cute. I have been waiting for a few of the flowering trees in our yard to bloom out. Then I am going to treat BB to some spring

Adorable! What kind of flower is that?

I don't get to go to the grocery, my husband does that, but I would love to get some of these for the fids.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Nice photo sequence! Mother Nature can provide some exciting toys for our parrots!

Love these pictures! Last year we gave Ekko some lilacs when they bloomed, and he went crazy for them.

Pic number 4 is adorable! Glad he was open to trying it. I've never seen edible flowers before where I am, I wonder how Kiwi would like one? He's tried eating flowers my husband has bought me before, but I didn't know if they were safe and stopped him.

My understanding is that most of the flowers sold as decorations are treated with something to make them last longer. We don't have an organic flower section in our stores, so I only feel safe using ones from our own trees.

Hahaha! Nice seeing the sequence! It's great that you're trying flowers with him, too. They eat flowers in the wild as well, and it's a great way to increase variety.

Uglow is looking beautiful, btw.
