I planted two of the large pots with gladiolus bulbs. I hope they bloom. This was taken about 2 weeks ago. The ferns along the fence died back b/c of a rare hard freeze where it got down to an unheard of 20 degrees. They are just now starting to come back from the roots. Donna

I can't kill these. This one has survived since Christmas 2016. What flowers, trees, shrubs, and whatever is blooming for you guys?

I heard on the news today that the cherry blossoms in DC are at their peak.

Nothing is really blooming here, seems like a month behind last year. No cherries, magnolia, no forthsia no dandelion... no morels YET!

Pink "Knockout" rose and yellow miniature rose.

They'll grow a lot as time goes on. The elephant ears are coming back from the roots of the mother plant which died back the abnormally cold winter.

I sure am glad that someone has flowers. I look out the window and am still seeing snow...

Donna, your roses are insanely vibrant! All your flowers look very nice.

Thank you, Salsa.

It was a slow start to spring but stuff is waking up!

This is the Mock Orange (Philadelphus 'Natchez') at the back corner of the house. It's in full bloom and what a scent!

This is an 'Amethyst Falls' wisteria, which is a relatively dwarf type. Unlike the insanely unruly Chinese wisteria that wants to take over the world, Amethyst Falls can be easily kept pruned to a bush shape. Behind it is a Knockout rose.

Any day now there should be a few irises opening. I think we've finally turned the corner and winter has given in.
