    What's Blooming?

    What's blooming in your area right now? In my yard there are grape hyacinths smiling at me from the newly green patches of grass that are starting to overtake the dull brown. There are even dandelions already, and I am glad to see their cheerful little faces. There are daffodils across the street and camellia's of watermelon red. Spring is bursting out all over, as they say in an old song. Tell me what's blooming in yours!

    You give us northern girls hope. Today it's pouring rain.That's the only spring thing so far. Think I'll make lemonade today just to help it along. Goes good with my seed catalog dreaming.

    Seed catalogs are the most wonderful thing to brighten a dreary day. It is grey here today, with severe weather threatening to shake all the newly opened blossoms from the pear tree. A good day for curling up with one of those many lovely dream books of plants that we so much cherish!

    I stand corrected. It's just after midnight and high winds and freezing rain. ( Sigh) I got out my seed stash today to help the dreaming.....

    The zinnias are growing very slowly and are far from blooming, I mist them with flowering plant food instead of using a watering can, they are still so fragile. Today they are under three CFL's to replace the sun that's hiding behind the rainclouds...

    You must live in the tropics. The only thing in my back yard is snow, snow and more snow and deer. Thats because my husband feeds them oats. I keep telling him that they will thank us in the summer by eating our flowers. There are a hundred chicadees in the trees outside the kitchen. I feed them black oil sunflower seeds. If my husband doesn't get the oats out quickly enough the deer are at the birdfeeders too.
