Happy Ides of March! After record warm temperatures on Monday, it's definitely feeling like spring. A lot of winter blooms are still going strong, but spring is ready to shine. I seem to acquire a lot of blue and purple flowering plants, and this week the bulbs have been really glowing in the sunshine (and not phased by the rain either).
Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting this monthly roundup of blooms. There are plants blooming somewhere every month but now they're really taking off.... at least in the northern hemisphere.

Indoors, one amaryllis is blooming for the second time this year. Also my Christmas cactus has had a few blooms at a time since January but I keep forgetting to get a picture.
What's next? Flowering currant and Oregon grape are so close, plus a lot more daffodils.
Beautiful selection of plants! Is rock cress what I know as aubrieta?
ReplyDeleteYes, aubrieta. I planted a bunch from seed last year so I'm excited to see them start to bloom.
DeleteBeautiful! Love the frilly Daffodil!
ReplyDeleteI'm always fascinated to see the difference that my 600 feet of elevation makes between my garden and those lower down and closer to the Sound. I don't have any Daffodils or Muscari blooming yet, just lots of buds.
