It's amazing what all is growing!

I've never seen everything grow at the same time like it is right now in our area (Chittenango/Syracuse)! Violets burst into bloom a day or 2 ago, daffodils are in their glory, hyacinth also, forsythia and nanking cherry are blooming together just since yesterday. Fritillaria has sent up a huge mophead (this plant is new to me last year) that I staked and have high hopes for. Lungwort is in bloom, and primrose. Roses are leafing out, dracunculus vulgaris is starting to leaf, Solomon's seal is coming up, petasites are in flower - it's just so weird, everything at once. Usually there's a slow progression, but this is a wild and jumbled chaos. It's fun, but weird too, and very hard to keep ahead of it all with the yard work so as to support all this growth!!!

What do you have going on in your gardens that's different this year?
