Oh Pooh on you! It is back to cold again here. My stuff is trying to pop up. I have an amaryllis on my window sill, given to me at Christmas. It said it would bloom in 2 months; the green is only 3 inches high and will probably take another month to get even close to blooming. It kills me that winter is even INSIDE. Guess I will have to go BUY some flowers to look at.

mommamac 03-04-2011 05:11 AM

go away - it's minus 10 degrees here!!!!

Hurray, my crocus are blooming here in SW PA. My tulips and lilies are poking out of the ground. Can't wait to get my hands dirty in my flower garden!!!! Spring is just around the corner even though it still quite chilly!!

CarrieAnne 03-04-2011 05:36 AM

Cant wait to see mine....lucky you!

ssgramma 03-04-2011 05:45 AM

Mine have been up for a while and the forsythia is about to pop. The lilies, day and reg, are poking heads up along with iris, columbine, alliums. Buds on Clematis too.

I planted some bleeding hearts yesterday in the Kitty Memorial Garden - and pulled some WEEDS!

raedar63 03-04-2011 05:46 AM

Love those spring flowers! I gave up the moles always eat all of mine:(

gmaybee 03-04-2011 06:07 AM

We still have ice on top of snow. I can't see the grass yet, but hopefully with the rain we're suppose to get the next two days it will melt the snow.

NCquilter 03-04-2011 06:27 AM

My tulips are starting to come up, but no flowers blooming yet.

irishrose 03-04-2011 06:28 AM

Whoops, double post. :oops: I'm never quite sure how that happens. I edited for spelling, but that shouldn't do it. :roll:

irishrose 03-04-2011 06:29 AM

I noticed when walking the dogs yesterday that the snowbanks are still shoulder high. No ground in sight. Enjoy your crocuses.

ssgramma, it must a bad year for Amaryllis. Mine is doing the same thing - maybe 6 inches tall. Usually it's very tall and blooming by now.

Moles don't like daffodils, so those are safe to plant and will give you wonderful color. :thumbup:

My crocus are in a protected area against my house and usually bloom at the end of February, but we've had a lot of snow this year, so they are not blossoming yet, but I can see a few green leaves starting. There's hope! :lol:

Aunt Retta 03-04-2011 06:35 AM

I don't have crocus, but my daffodils are starting to grow. We have had so much snow and cold this year, I bought a pot of paper daffodils, and put them in my front enterance in January. I tell people that is to remind me spring will come some day!

CloverPatch 03-04-2011 06:37 AM

daffodils are blooming, my tulips are pushing through. Some other bulbs I planted but forgot what they are, Ha ha, going to have some surprise flowers :)

jbud2 03-04-2011 06:44 AM

My crocus are blooming in south central PA also!! I noticed that the fruit trees in Adams county are very colorful - their buds are pushing also.

lllog 03-04-2011 06:46 AM

Mine are blowming too, it must be that MO dirt, more like rock.

I had 3 amarillys bloom for me in the last couple months. Big red and pink blossoms in my bay window in the kitchen , sure looked nice and cheery. And yes I think my Snow on the mountain plants must be blooming ;-) .

Carrie Jo 03-04-2011 07:58 AM

Brenda M 03-04-2011 08:11 AM

Double Pooh!!!!!!!! We have four foot snow piles in our yard and we are expecting a storm Tues, Wed and Thurs!

We still have high school basket ball and hockey tournaments to go through before Spring even thinks about arriving in Minnesota. And all of you Minnesotans will attest to that, I am sure, right??????? It is two weeks and two days before Spring arrives, not to mention DST is coming this month sometime. This weather has to get its act together here. Of course I remember April 6, 1952, my confirmation day, Palm Sunday - Snowed like a sun of a gun!!!!!! So here, who knows! But I do love the crocuses, tulips, daffodils and hyacinths when they come up. Oh, it'll come. Edie

grammydar 03-05-2011 04:56 AM

Ok you all in SW PA send some to the west central part too.
I have seen some in town but we are up on a hill and ours come a little later.
Edie-I know what you mean my DS was born April 3, 1982 and we had a ice storm so bad that they wouldn't let me leave until the next day.

jhoward 03-05-2011 05:21 AM

Couldn't be happier for you. Here in central Mn the snow is still very deep...more to come next week. Can only appreciate your joy of blooming flowers.

stitchinwitch 03-05-2011 05:34 AM

not yet, but the weeds are sure thriving....$#@!

quilter68 03-05-2011 05:34 AM

Nothing outdoors as yet but my 2009 Christmas Cactus is blooming for the 10th time in a year! I am afraid to move it because it is so happy on the shelf.

I wonder which one of us will get the most!!!!! Hopefully it will skirt the Twin Cities like it did this past week. Edie

Took a drive to Springfield, TN yesterday to the Antique Barn where we remembered seeing some old machines in the basement. Alas, they were all very nasty but I did get some Blue Nordic plates and a wood thread rack with a heart at the top.

But it was a beautiful day of almost 70 but overcast and very windy with the storm on the way.

We took I-65 south to the turn off but came back up on country roads. We saw TONS of daffs and several fields with Spring lambs frolicking and also the kids with the Momma goats. I haven't noticed any foals yet though.

I'm a little further south of you in central Arkansas, so our crocus were blooming a couple of weeks ago. The daffodils are in full bloom right now, along with the hyacinths and pear trees. Spring is definitely sprung down here. :D

I planted mine in Nov. and it didn't bloom until New Years.

atvrider 03-05-2011 07:18 AM

There are no flowers only cactus. Can't wait to retire - I have 9 more years before I can move someplace green (or tropical? hope hope)

pollyjvan9 03-05-2011 07:18 AM

Mine are blooming also and the naked ladies are about a foot tall. Everything is looking springy. Yeahhhhhhh!

Zephyr 03-05-2011 07:21 AM

Magnolia trees are beautiful and many of the fruit trees are blooming in several different colors. Daffodils and iris are blooming and forsytia. Come on Spring in Alabama.

Yooper32 03-05-2011 07:26 AM

On my last trip over to the farm to move a few more things, the daffodils were starting to bud. every year they come up before the snow is all gone and then it thaws and they keep on growing and blooming and the snow comes again and buries them and this goes on and on. 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.

flikkem 03-05-2011 07:34 AM

My hyacinths are blooming - pink and purple; a few daffodils and a few purple iris in San Antonio, TX.

Going to be a while before we see any flowers, but I love it here. That is my DH standing in the road. We were actually snowed in for about 3 days.
