My crocuses are blooming and I dug up and divided some of my canna lily beds two weeks ago. I noticed several of the native desert willow trees have budded out and I have planted some new bulb beds (gladiolus, daffodil and hyacinths) in anticipation of spring.
I'll know spring has arrived when the hummingbirds make an appearance on their way up from Mexico.
I love the Southwest!
