| well, i went out to get the newspaper this am and to help load some stuff into the car for my wife. on the way back in i saw a clump of snowdrops blooming. seems a bit late for them (Feb 13) but last week they were under 2 feet of snow and the week before that it was below zero-- so i'll make allowances.
could spring be on the way?
Now whats blooming for you in your zone 5-6 gardens?

| I've got nothing. Not even witchhazel which was blooming at Valentine's Day last year. The daffs are just starting to poke through. |

| Nothing here either--but I noticed the buds are swelling on the yellow dogwood today. |
RE: whats blooming!!!!!

| No blooms, but daffs with buds. Also tulips, hyacinths, primrose, crocus, lycoris, day lilies, iris & stars of persia all showing their heads. Fat buds on the camellias, too. |

| I finally have crocus starting to come up. |
RE: whats blooming!!!!!

| My beautiful helebores (christmas rose) |
RE: whats blooming!!!!!
| | |
| My snow drops have been blooming for 4 weeks and look very healthy. The helebores is in full bloom-started budding in mid-Dec. I have one white crocus blooming and a daff should open in a few days. I can see the hyacinth heads just popping up through the soil. I cannot wait to smell these fragrant bulbs. Today's hig temp set a record--77 but a cold frontis expected and more seasonal temps will be back :( |

| oh you poeple in zone 6 just drive me crazy. i i thought it was the zone 7 poeple that did it. well after a weekend of warm and rain, rain, rain.
the back yard is still about 1/2 flooded but things are
so much greener. it really is beginning to feel more spring like. still i only have snow drops and snow crocus blooming
but that's all i've got that can bloom early. I am thinking that helebores and witchhazel and cornus mas might all be good ideas to plant around. this year i'm going to spend some money and get a black pussy willow for the yard. but
i'm looking for a regular one as a trade. diggerb |

| Well these aren't blooming yet but I put them in last fall so am glad to see them coming up. Alliums, bluebells and some of the double mixed daff's. Oh and dutch iris too. |

| On Thurs. morning (March 19) I was excited because I had my first daffodil break out into bloom!!! I also noticed that a couple of my willow and dogwood bushes had leafed out on a couple of their branches... |
RE: whats blooming!!!!!
| | |
| Well, the daffs are blooming, and the scilla, and striped squill. YEA! Flower buds are coming out on the magnolia. Leaves are starting to come out. It makes me nervous... I hope we are not in for a late hard freeze like two years ago. We need some rain. |
RE: whats blooming!!!!!
| | |
| Crocus, scilla, daffs, star magnolia and bradford pear and something else, but I can't remember the name....LOL |
