Plenty of flowers on my pluot and nectarine trees. The best part is that there has not been any rain for the past 2 weeks while they are in full bloom so hopeful for good pollination this year.



Pluot on the left, Fantasia nectarine on the right

Blooms are coming in at a quick pace now. Rain is expected in a couple of days so that will be good. Have not had a good rain in a few weeks. We will be in another drought year.

Thalia - last of the daffodils to bloom

A bloom's a bloom! We'll take it. I have stuff blooming, but my pc is plugged up with photos, and if I download more, I can't find them. Got to get my computer guys to show me how to clean things out without loosing all.

Nice blooms, Dick.

And before March comes to an end, my tree peonies are blooming!!! They are about 2 weeks later than last year.

Koukamon - a rich dark red

No ID red tree peony

i'm jealous Dianne
i have tried Peonys several times over the years
look awesome when first planted
they NEVER make it thru my winters
too much rain i suppose

Dick - sorry you have problems with Peonies. We don't get much rain here so I am lucky in that regard. There are some years when there is not much winter chill so my herbaceous peonies do not do as well, but the tree peonies are very consistent.
