First I have a picture of "Time". I put out a home-made snow gauge during the blizzard earlier this month and ran out hourly to get a picture as the snow accumulated and blogged the storm. At one point I went out, got my 9:00 shot, walked around the block for a bit getting pictures of the buried cars and unplowed streets and dogs in the snow. When I got home, 12 minutes later, we'd accumulated another inch of snow. AN INCH in 12 MINUTES!

And some purple flowers.
This is my favorite flower ever. It's a Mr. Fokker Poppy from the Chicago Botanical Gardens.

Today a local meet-up group went to the Garfield Park Conservatory. There was Grape Hyacinth... (I think I need to do a 2 sec timer when I'm doing Macro work... :(
And then there's these. These are just AWESOME! They're called the "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Plant" for the way the flowers change from purple to white quickly. I seem to have caught all three days at once on this branch! :)
