My garden this year is so much ahead of when it usually blooms in years past. Azaleas usually bloom begining of May but started much earlier already this year.

What's the apricot colored rose?

It is David Austin, either Crown Princess Margareta or Golden Celebration. Can't find the tag yet.

I will have to see if I can get some pictures of the blue lilacs here and the others ones I haven't gotten pics of as yet.

Janice, lovely iris. Westerland is a great rose I have one of them myself!

Here are The Copper Queen Daffs blooming in the backyard.

Roulette daffs still blooming away in the front yard.

And a batch of Merlin daffs also in the front yard.

Two more days, Jo Ann, at least here. It's supposed to hit 80° on Monday and stay warm. It's cold (44°) and rainy here now.
