Spring Blooms - 2011!!

Around here too, but none of mine yet. Forsythia starting as well.

My daffs on the southside are budded. 2 days in the 30's and it will be the weekend before I can pick a bookay..
My Brushwood order comes Friday. yipppeee

Don't know when my will be here, but the obelisk is waiting for the clems....

As I was cooking dinner I noticed a couple yellow lines in the yard - maybe open daffs tomorrow...

I have some buds....that's it!

I have lots of buds on daffs. I expect they'll be blooming by Easter.

Daffs outside our stone wall are showing color.

Karen, those pretty white with the blue stripes jave the impossible name of Scilla mischtschenkoana, and the common name of Puschkinia. No wonder you forgot. I just have a few beginning to open. Lots popping out here. Patti

The early narcissus are out. Jetfire. Patti

Here is a clump of N. Small Talk. Patti

Frits are starting to plump up. Fritillaria raddeana. Patti

More Narcissus Division 1 Trumpet Topolino. These are sweet and early. Patti

My favorite early spring Iris. Patti

Gorgeous. Love that blue.

Some more. Patti

Primula starting. Patti

More Primula, but not enough yet. Love them. Patti

Tulips starting. T. Showwinner. Patti

Wow - early tulips!

Everything is a little later than last year, but we start to slow down and fall behind you very soon. Patti

Very pretty Patti, and so cheery! I love those early tulips, I have some red ones too but they have varigated foliage and are my first to bloom here. I can't recall their name at the moment but I can't wait to see them!

you are showing off patti :) very nice!

Thanks for the name on those, Patti. I did remember the name after posting that. I was having a brain freeze at the time of posting.

Everything should be later than last year. Last year everything was 2-3 wks early due to all the unseasonably warm weather.

Patti, love your hellebores and primulas. I want to get more of both.

Karen

The colors are all so vibrant & cheery....just lovely!

Nothing much new here, although these did up this week..

Puschkinia libanotica aka: Striped Squill, Snowdrift, Early Stardrift

sweet
we are having such a nice day.

An incredibly hardy little plant, these are 8yrs old.
- When mini irises, daffodils, crocus, snowdrops and even tulips have failed to come up, I haven't lost even one of those in 8yrs!

Those are some of my favs WC!

my mums from the co-op last year are alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pond is awakening.

Waterlily leaf.

Hellebore foliage.

Last for now - potted lilac.

Nice! Now all you need is a dozen playful, little, happy koi, smiling when you go to feed them in the am!
Wheee! ☺

Nah - learned my lesson with fish.

(lol!)

Nice photos, especially of the pond......

Thanks. Here is a wonderful dark hellebore. About as close to black as you can get.

Nice clump with hyacinth behind.
