The Calendar Says It's Spring

4/5/15
primrose

     Although the calendar says it is spring, botanically I am still waiting for it to happen in my yard.  After such a cold March, we finally have had a few warm days, and a lot of plants should pop into bloom in a few days.  But the only thing blooming in the yard is a yellow primrose plant and a few hellebores.

     There is nary a flower on the azalea bushes, the dogwood buds are in wait mode as are all the cherry trees.  Here are some photos of a few things that have emerged in my backyard garden.

brunnera plants

But overall the backyard garden looks pretty bare.

hyacinths

     Everything is two to three weeks behind this spring.  I did see some forsythia in bloom just yesterday in the neighborhood.  So while I am waiting, I bought some hyacinths at the grocery to tide me over till blooming starts.

  1. My hellebore are finally blooming as are my daffs. I think the crocus are done for the year. But your primroses are ahead of mine. They're lovely!
