The temperature's shifted above and below the yearly average several times this month.
Compared with last year, not sure if we should currently be expecting more action in the garden.
Do know that our (native) double bloodroot was blooming by this time last year; it's only in bud now.
Also there seems to have been a general reduction in the time over which the giant Dutch crocuses have bloomed.
Not sure how much of that is due to cold temperatures and how much to rabbits (have seen them).
In shadier locations, there's still a lot of bloom from the smaller Dutch yellow ('Golden Yellow') crocuses.
Today: (species tulips and the first daffodils)
Some of the hellebores have been looking good for several weeks.
Perhaps they're what's making the other spring perennials look so slow to bloom!
Still glad I started adding them.
The primulas, pulmonaria and brunnera generally are just beginning to flower.
Still the exception.
For some reason (guessing location) this arabis is the only other (non-hellebore) perennial currently in full flower.
