| I'd love to see what's blooming in your gardens Upstate. Here are a few of my favorite flowers from this week:
My white dogwood, which was rather sparse on blooms this year.
Lilac 'Wonderblue' (also called 'Little Boy Blue,' a dwarf).
The garden by the end of our driveway (a terribly tough place for plants, since it's intermittently covered with piles of snow, slush, and grit all winter, and baked all summer).
An unknown heirloom dwarf bearded (or intermediate bearded) iris, from a good friend.

| Thanks, hammerl! I'm having too much fun with my digital camera. Here's what's blooming today: Dogwood, lilacs, Tulips, fernleaf bleeding hearts, Sweet Woodruff, violets, pansies, lobelia, late daffodils, variegated Solomon's seal, and that little purple iris is still going strong. My tall irises and columbine are budding. The peony buds are like big marbles now, and some are showing a bit of color.
This white heliotrope is from a nursery; it smells powerfully of vanilla. (For some reason, even though I resized the photo in Photobucket, it's showing up very large here - my apologies to those on dial-up!)
I love these tiny daffodils. Laurel |

| A better question might be, what is NOT blooming. Most of my bulbs have finished blooming. Most of my spring wildflowers are in bloom except those like Sanguinaria and Jeffersonia that are reapidly developing their seed pods. Asimina, Cornus, Viburnum, Cercis, Calycanthus. A dozen or more Rhododendrons with lots more whose buds are swelling, Kalmia is getting ready to bloom. Meconopsis cambrica is popping up all over the place, including a crack in the flagstone patio. |

| Very nice, gottagarden! Everything is blooming now, it seems - the peonies are starting, the irises are in full swing, various annuals are getting some good growth and bloom. It's been fun seeing new things every day now.
Geranium 'Brookside' and hosta 'Minuteman'
Siberian iris, nectaroscordum, chives, asters, more.
