What a time here in western NC - everything spring is blooming.

[NewHendoLib]

Our yard has tulips, daffodils, grape hyacinths...hellebore, bloodroot, azaleas, quince...red bud, dogwood, epimedium, lily of the valley, magnolia and forythia and lilac. On our hikes we are seeing trilliums, Oconee Bells, and trout lilies.

Summer brings other flowers - but there is just nothing like the look and smell of those first warm spring days, surrounded by so much beauty.

I am 68, and it still takes my breath away every year.

I hope that spring is springing wherever you are!

1. When I was a kid, my parents took us to Cullowhee, NC

Beautiful in the Blue Ridge mountains and now there’s a university there. I’m sure it’s changed a lot since the 60’s but it was tucked away back then and we loved the change coming to visit from Florida.

Nothing survives that requires child hours. So everything is kinda subtropicalish.

My aloe is blooming right now.
My rose bush put on some blooms a few weeks ago. My salvia bloomed in Feb.

My plumbagos froze back, so they won't bloom for awhile. So did my lantana. Lantana usually bloom in the winter, but we had a hard freeze. In May, crape myrtles will bloom. My crinums are very picky bloomers.
