Are you kidding me. There is still about 3 feet of snow on the ground and today is the warmest day in months and it's only 36 degrees with perhaps more snow on Monday. phooey.

daffodil are blooming and even survived the two windstorms we've had.

FroggyinTexas 03-05-2011 07:48 PM

Daffodils are up and blooming everywhere and the pansies survived two major snow and ice events. As a matter of fact, they are prettier now than they were before the storms.

I know summer is on the way because Sam's has had bathing suits for nearly a month and WalMart put the swimsuits out last week.

Come quickly summer! froggyintexas

My daffodils have been blooming for a couple of weeks. The fruit trees are blooming all over town, and my hyacinth is blooming, and buds are on the other bulbs. My coral tree is sprouting and will be blooming in May. I am so happy Spring is arriving. I am not a cold weather gal. ();-)

pugmom 03-05-2011 09:11 PM

I'd give up my flowers any day to live in Montana!

MerryQuilter 03-06-2011 04:38 AM

We wish suppose to snow tonight

I'm so glad spring is starting to show its face.
Nothing says spring like the first blooms we spot in our gardens. It will be awhile before anything else blooms here in Mo., but I'm excited to see my Crocus, and the green foliage of other spring bulbs. :D

Kayaker26 03-06-2011 02:12 PM

I don't wanna make you guys mad at me but I am ready to pick my second crop of green beans and peas. The first vine ripe tomatoes will be up this week and I am already up to my ears in jalepenos! Sorry but that is what I have instead of seasons!

CMARAS1234 03-06-2011 03:38 PM

katrbee 03-06-2011 04:23 PM

Yes!!! We have fresh new daffodils just beginning to bloom. It is so fun to see the first flowers of spring, even before spring.

pawebdoctor 03-06-2011 06:32 PM

Whoooo hooooo!!!!!

jpthequilter 03-06-2011 09:51 PM

On Flag Day in VT, NH, and Maine, you can count on tulips roses, all the spring and summer flowers being in bloom at the same time!

Almost forgot to tell you....
Now I live on the south Texas coast. I have a lovely crop of thistles about a foot high all around the edges of my front sidewalk....

They are the only flower I could rely on as the deer eat any and everything else. Last year the yearlings ate the day lilly buds off each day as they appeared, then they started in on the leaves. I had planted tulips the fall before last and I looked out one day and there they were, pinching off the buds before I even had a chance to see them coming up.

Y'know, people eat day lilly blossoms/buds in salads...
spose that the deer gave them the idea?
