Just like my snowdrops, I'm a bit tardy with this month's Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, but here is what is blooming for me today:Outside:

Violets (pictured below)
I'm keeping tabs on my crop of crocus, 'February Gold' Daffodils, and Iris reticulata -- all teasing me mercilessly everytime I venture outside. "Are they open yet?" I plead. "No," they say, "Let us sleep in a bit more, it is so cozy down inside this mulched soil and so chilly out there." I can hardly blame them.
Spring is bursting out all over. I was in the Calverton area of Silver Spring (Montgomery County, MD) recently and the yellow and purple croccus blooms were basking in the afternoon sun in a garden on the west side of a home.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that I have a crocus blooming and you don't. But to be fair, I only have one little cluster blooming, the rest are all like yours, hiding under the mulch where it is warm. Keep watching, spring is bound to come eventually, right?
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us for bloom day again!

My daffodils feel much like yours I think - but it just means the fun of watching them arrive lasts a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteToday many more snowdrops are out - still no crocus -- they just heighten my anticipation.
ReplyDeleteI dont speak english, but I like your photos. Sorry my english.
