Daffodils and hyacinth are in full bloom.  My pear and plum trees also have flowers.  I think I should have tulips by now, but the deer ate the tops off of them.  Other things have started to sprout, but aren't fully leafed out/flowering - azalea, sedum, hosta, day lillies, rose bushes.

I have hyacinths and forsythia in bloom.  No blooms on my tulips or daffodils yet.

A few lingering glory of the snow, crocuses, and daffodils.   The forsythia is thinking about opening.  Hopefully it will soon.  We have a north facing garden in metro Boston.

Hyacinth and Joan of Arc crocuses.  Still waiting on the daffodils and early tulips.  My snowdrops were spotty this year, not all of them bloomed.

Some of our typical solid yellow daffodils are blooming right now (the dozen other varieties we have bloom a little later), crocuses, scilla, and the helleborus has it's first blooms this year.  The forsythia, tulips, hyacinths, bloodroot, and other daffodils are about to bloom.

Crocuses & daffodils have been up for about 3 weeks.  My roses are starting to bud too.

Our apple & crabapple trees are just starting to bud.  I thought they'd be slowed down with the severe pruning we did, but we'll see.

ETA:  The plum "trees" are also starting to bloom - for the last time.

Hyacinth and Muscari (grape hyacinth).  Tulips should be blooming by next week and my crocuses have come and gone.

My Azaleas are done for the season and are now in that icky phase where they're covered in brown, dead flowers

However, I have Zinnias growing everywhere!  I have around 50 plants..the ones I had last year must have dropped seeds.  They're really beautiful and are one of the few flowers that can tolerate our hot summers.  I also have black eyed susans that have been blooming since last year.  I love living in the south! 

juno

Euphorbia, carpet roses, potato vine tree, hellebores, callas, ceanothus, camellia, foam flower, apple, daffodils, cyclomen, coleonema, lavender.

A kwanzan cherry is in full bloom along with my forsythia and daffodils currently. Magnolia and purple leaf plums are on deck. Dianthus, cone flower, day lilies and peonies are popping up.

I hate that, I always spend a day pulling every dead bloom off all of ours because I can't stand the way it looks.

Oh I wanted to get one of these someday when we redo the only flowerbed area that gets lots of sun!  Do you know what variety you have?  How long does it bloom and does it constantly bloom each year?  No one seems to carry them around here.  They seem to be considered a plant people wanted back in the day but no one bothers with them anymore.

Glad to see others (VA, etc) have daffodils blooming.  Ours are blooming too, although other yards had theirs blooming weeks ago.  Also have tulips, iris, blackberry(blossoms!!), peony buds are growing larger!

Daffodils and tulips are in full swing right now.  The neighbor's magnolia has bloomed and lost its flowers already.  Our pear tree has also bloomed.

Sorry, it was here when we got here. The house was built in 1929 so I have no way of knowing how old some of the landscaping might be. The first year we lived here I though it was crowding the flowering currant too much and trimmed it back to the stump. Three years later it's slightly taller than I am. Maybe it's where we live, but it's all over my neighborhood. I think you can propagate by cutting, but I'm not sure.

It blooms every year, and blooms are pretty if small (really only noticeable because it hasn't leafed out yet). Like forsythia, you usually won't get all the blossoms on a branch blooming at once unless you cut it off and bring it inside. I'd say it spaces out over a few weeks, the first few trickle open withe the crocus, and the last usually hang on until the iris starts. Maybe a month or so?

One thing to keep in mind is the nasty thorns. Not a cuddly plant.

Well that fits in with the description the garden centers have given me that it is "an old fashioned shrub."  I didn't know about the thorns so that's good to know.  They would at least keep the deer away and it wouldn't be near our house so thorns would only be an issue when I'm gardening around them.  But I'm thinking I should probably get a later blooming shrub since we already have 3 forsythia.  It sounds like a pretty fast growing shrub too which I try to stay away from.  Thanks for the help! 

For what it's worth this is my far, far in the future flower bed I'm going to create when we take the time to tear out all of the invasive honeysuckle that have taken over our lower yard.  It's the one small area on our whole property that could be considered full sun so I want to pick my plants wisely!

Geraniums, Rosebushes, Gerbera daisies, and my strawberry plants.

Hydrangeas are getting ready to bloom in a few weeks.

Crocuses bloomed and died. Not all of them bloomed though, so I was a little sad. Hyacinths are in full bloom right now. Tulips are about to bloom within a week or so and I can't wait!
