Even something often perceived as minuscule, like flowers popping up in the neighborhood, can serve as yet another symbol that spring is here. During this time of year, the flowers in the front yards of many people’s homes begin to bloom once more as it gets warmer and the sun is out for longer each day. Here in Milford, Connecticut, this spring has been especially colorful with a bevy of city blooms.

**Ivory Bushes**: Many a walk home at this time of year is lined with these soft, wedding-like bells that almost seem like they could chime. May 3, 2026. Photo courtesy: Lisa Mohseni.

**Bold Bulbs:** Vibrantly colored tulips are typically the first sign that spring has arrived, with many popping from the earth just as the temperatures begin to warm. May 3, 2026. Photo courtesy: Lisa Mohseni.
