***THE CONTEST IS NOW OPEN FOR SECOND ENTRIES. I'LL LOCK THE THREAD WHEN WE GET TO THIRTY SUBMISSIONS.***
Contest submission thread! No comments in this thread, only pictures!
Hi folks! I'm skipping the announcement thread and going straight to the entry thread this month. I should have posted an announcement thread a week ago, but I've been busy driving around the desert chasing owls! 
I'll provide the timeline in this thread as well. Thanks for your patience, and sorry if this has inconvenienced you. To be clear, this is the submissions thread.
Comments here: https://democraticunderground.com/1036132079
Theme: Spring
Here is the approximate timeline:
Submissions begin today and end June 13th.
Preliminary polls: Start June 14th through June 18th.
Finals: June 19th through June 23rd.
Now for the rules:
Rules:
MONTHLY CONTEST:
Only one entry of your own original work per person, unless/until the Volunteer Host opens Submissions for second entries. You need to post your entry in the submission thread started by the Host of a contest. Please be sure to include a "Title" for your photograph in the Subject line of your post. The submission thread is for photo entries only, no comments, no questions. The Host will start a separate thread just for comments and questions.
Once a photo is entered in a contest it is ineligible for any future contest unless the Host specifies otherwise.
The Volunteer Host has the option of adding other rules to the contest they are hosting. An example would be no Black & White or all Black & White entries.
The Volunteer Host has the option of declaring the submissions being blind (no one knows who entered which photo) or public. Should the Host opt for blind submissions it is their responsibility to instruct entrants on how to get their entries to the host.
We no longer have rules about the photo size. But please be reasonable! Ask if you have questions.
The Volunteer Host is the final authority in their contests. The Volunteer Host may enter a contest as long as the Volunteer Host is not the previous winner and has not selected the theme for the contest which they are hosting.
Submissions will be limited to 30 entries maximum unless the Photography Group votes to change the limits.
The winner of this contest does not pick the theme for the July contest, since this is a seasonal contest. The theme of the July contest will be picked by the winner of the May contest.
The Submission & Comment threads will be posted in the Photography Group. The Preliminary polls and Final Contest poll will be posted in GD per EarlG’s permission.
The Host of the Contest may copy and paste these rules into their submission thread or post a link to these rules into the submission thread. The Host WILL copy and paste the CONTEST LICENSE into the submission thread in its entirety. (At bottom of post)
CONTEST LICENSE:
An entrant to this contest, by submitting a photograph, is giving permission for that photograph to be copied to Demopedia or to a linked Gallery and included in a DU Calendar that will display the photographs entered for this contest for the purpose of publicizing future contests and/or commemorating current and past contests. The entrant retains all other rights to the photograph being submitted. Neither Demopedia and/or a linked Gallery may use any photograph submitted for any purpose other than to display the photograph being submitted by the entrant, and neither gains any real or implied ownership rights to the photograph.
P.S. Thanks to California Peggy because I copied her thread from last month and just made some minor changes.

The orange petunias just came out and I haven’t seen any orange petunias since.
