Bloom day!

Okay, some of us might be a little overexcited for spring. 

Here's what I have right now:

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman

    I actually have a bit of a carpet of these guys going, but they're little buggers to get down to take a picture of.

  • Beautiful.

    I'd take pictures but my yard is a wreck. My candytuft and daffodils are in bloom now.

  • Gorgeous.  I love the color in that top photo. 

    I have yellow crocus blooming in one bed.  The others have snowdrop, iris & hyacinth growing but not blooming yet.

    At least, that was until last night's crazy 80mph wind and the 4" of ice & snow I woke up to today.

  • My crocus against the south facing foundation is up and budded, but closed up tight. 

    Your photos are beautiful, and have convinced me that I do need a lenten rose (that's what it is, right?).

  • I Love Helaborous! Mine has their blossoms still curled but visable- it will be at least a few more weeks before anything blooms here :(

    It's from the hellebore family anyway. I can hardly keep the Lenten rose/Corsican/stinking ones straight. Might be Lenten, but it usually doesn't bloom until March for me. 

    And yes, you need them. Every year I love them more. And they're not that expensive if you look into how difficult they are to cultivate. Up to three years just to germinate 0.o

  • I got my first hyacinth this week!  this one is a major overachiever, the others are just starting to develop flowers.  Love the fragrance!

  • Gorgeous! The color is almost as nice as the smell.

  • Ah I live your near black helleborus!  So jealous that you have stuff blooming already!  We've had a very mild winter but most of our yard is still covered by snow.  My snowdrops, crocus, and scilla are not even close to blooming yet.  
  • I need to take photos :) I have yellow daffodils and purple crocus, the dark purple and light ones.

     

    My hellebores bloom really really late for me.  

     

    I wish I had some snow drops.  They are blooming in the park near my house!
