Warm!

Daffodils

 We have had three days of warm weather in the 80's and 90's!  We have had to dig out the summer clothes and turn on the air conditioning. You can hear so much birdsong now when you are outside. There are three areas in the yard where there are late blooming white daffodils. This photo was taken 
April 3rd and now they are done blooming.


Brunnera

The brunnera plants are blooming, but they don't seem to have as many blooms and are not quite as a bright blue as last year.


Violets

One of the many purple violets that bloom throughout the pachysandra on the side yard .  They appeared just after the dandelions.


Grape Hyacinths

Grape hyacinths are growing around this tree trunk and in a side garden near the front of the house.


Clematis vine

I have a clematis called Samaritan Jo that has white blooms.  I see some flower buds on it and it should be blooming soon.

Viburnum bush

There is a viburnum bush, sometimes called the snowball bush, in the back yard that has beautiful white blooms.  It doesn't have a lot of blooms, probably because we don't prune it until fall (instead of right after it blooms) because birds always build a nest in it in spring.

Now after this recent hot spell we are supposed to get a possible freeze one night this week. I hope it doesn't bother the plants.  I have planted pansies in my deck railing pots.  They will handle the freeze, but I have held off getting petunias for my large deck pots because of this possible freeze.
