It was a bit too warm for the earliest bulbs, but some things looked quite good this year. Unfortunately, we are now getting freezes as the tulips get into full swing.

British Gamble has such a large bloom that the rain sometimes batters it, but it has held up quite well this year. Wish its blooms were more above the foliage.

Martha Stewart (very durable with strong stems) more than a week after opening:

Golden Echo:


Leucojum has been wonderful (long lasting) this year:


Tom Pouce with Magic Lavender. With so many freezes, this year will be trying for tulips.
