And so it begins!!

This is always one of my favorite days of the year. I expect more Daffs will open by this afternoon.

3. One flower with both stamen *and* pistil? How will I explain this to my child!

Flowers should be either male or female! Not both! Government must make some flowers male and some flowers female! Just one! And no changing!

4. We have three more days of cold and snow...

Thankfully, no bulbs are coming up yet. Planted about 50 bulbs last fall, I hope they come up. Supposedly the deer won't eat them.

It will be nice when it is above 50F during the day and above 40F at night. We're already getting looong days, they just aren't warm yet.

5. Lucky you. Here in my area of MAss. nothing yet. I need something to bloom!

We have had crazy weather, no buds, no sign of anything growing yet. It has been such extremely cold here and everything is behind. A few warmish days and too much rain. I need to see some color in the yard. If it warms up, I can rake and prepare the soil but no sign yet of any bulbs.
