Split-Cupped Collar Daffodil (Narcissus 'Apricot Whirl') On March 29, 2016 Plant emerged
Came back from Florida to find these in full bloom. It is only the end of March. The color is so much more pink than I have ever seen it. I wonder if it is because the temp is still going down below freezing each night?

Flowers opened.
Cornelian Cherry (Cornus officinalis) On March 13, 2016 Plant emerged
The flowers opened up today. This is really too early but the weather has been so warm. The pollen isn't showing but as soon as it does I'm pollinating the flowers so I might get fruit. The snow which is scheduled for this coming weekend along with colder temperatures will surely kill the flowers. (Maybe)
