Crocuses laughing at "winter"

It's not like there haven't been cold stretches this winter, and snow and all that unpleasantness, but on the whole it's been mild. There have been some crazy warm days over the past couple weeks, here and there - upper 60s! It feels soooooo goooooood.

Anyway, the bulbs are forging onward in response. The crocuses have bloomed almost 3 weeks ahead of last year. I am delighted to see them, and thrilled that they came back after last year. You never know.

March 1. Daffodils on left; crocuses right.


Daffodil leaves have been up forever, and also three of the four allium (I anxiously await the fourth and hope it all is not lost!) This year's tulips are coming up, too, but not last year's yet - fingers crossed, although I wasn't that fond of last year's.

Finally, I checked on the mini-greenhouses today and unfortunately they were sitting in about an inch of rainwater, so hopefully they're not a lost cause.
