My Garden is Screaming Spring

[AlanLichty]

It's nice to see blooms after a long gray winter and yesterday has me gearing up for working in the garden. With a camera handy of course.

First bloom on a Camellia:

Hellebore have been starting to show off a bit as well:

C&C always welcome.

Thanks Jim - its nice to see some colors starting to pop up.

 

[AlanLichty]

Yes it is!!!

Thanks Eric - spring is actually right on time for our area this year. Is any of the instant summer from Phoenix creeping into your area? Tempe hit 97º near my sister's house yesterday

You're lucky! We are at least 6 weeks away - if we keep our fingers crossed!

Thanks Kurt - when I lived in Salt Lake City mid to late April was early spring as well. Some of the worst snow dumps I experienced living there were in April although it wouldn't stick around long. We always wrote it off as "Springtime in the Rockies". In the Pacific NW we have a fairly long spring with the earliest bulbs coming out in February.

Oh wow. That is spring like Alan.. And we only have another 6 weeks of winter

Thanks Trent - we do have more rain ahead along with possible overnight frost but the usual early suspects like bulbs are popping up everywhere.

It is spring in Sedona... perfect “sit outside and photograph something” weather.
