Bursting Into Bloom

Daffodils

 My last post showed the first daffodil to open in this garden. A week later the whole row has opened thanks to a week in the 60's and 70's.

Bradford Pear

The Bradford Pear trees were barely showing buds on March 22, and a week later with the warm weather, they burst into bloom. They are a week or more late to bloom.

Weeping Cherry Trees

Same story with the cherry trees. Barely budding on March 22, and bursting into bloom a week later.

Magnolia Trees

The magnolia trees in the backyard were just starting to bloom on March 28. A little late just like the Bradford pear and weeping cherry trees. They still have not fully bloomed because we had a freeze one night last week.

Brunnera Jack Frost

I have four brunnera plants that just poked through the soil last week.

Clematis

This clematis vine on the trellis that hides our trash cans just started showing buds last week.

Pansies

The four pots of pansies on the deck that were frozen to single digits and snowed upon in winter have survived and are coming out of dormancy are starting to bloom.
