It's spring and we're missing it..... I've never seen all of the tulips we planted bloom either. Maybe we should get in the car and head north. It's summertime in Florida already.
What did I read...? ...about somebody needing to release the honeybees early this year or some big deal big draw wouldn't bloom...? Could it have been the cherry trees in Washington DC?
While it's heartening to see the buds of spring, I find it scary, too. I don't want to see the blossoms and new growth zapped by a hard frost. I remember that Easter freeze, what was it - 2009? It got down to single digits on 'our' mountain, made much worse coming after a warm early spring. Lost several ornamental plants/shrubs that year and it took a toll on fruit crops in the area. But they keep predicting a warmer than usual spring. . .

That's quite a few bloomers. I've seen a few around here, too.
Scary for the future of these little ones!
Great shots, Vicki. The fourth one is stunning.

Great photos as always Vicki.

very cool....i esp like the vine pic with all the curly Q off shoots....
Beautiful! All those buds look so hopeful.
Very incautious from where I'm sitting Vicki! We have a few primroses trying to flower, but no daffodils yet. Too cold!

Ahh, the hope for spring! Beautiful pictures Vicki as always. Thanks.
do I hear those dafs singing the hallelujah chorus?
Same thing happening around here. I hope we can return to normal temperatures soon.
Interesting shapes throughout your photos -- spring is coming to your gardens -- barbara
