I'd say bloom times have been about normal this year, even though it was a colder than normal winter. I have seen hummingbirds visit daffodils in years past, but they waited till the daffodils were done this year.
Saw my first firefly of the year too!
This clematis was a self sown seedling!
"...and don't think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. It's quiet, but the roots are down there riotous." Rumi
