My daffodils are blooming, they usually wait until the end of march.

And of course, dandelions, and misc weeds have all bloomed, seeded, re-bloomed...........

Grasses are growing, lilies are leafing out, parrots feather sort of grew all winter, now really growing.

Irises growing , some grasses and the algae in my pond! Need to get my pump up and running this weekend, water temp is 48 degrees and the pond water is really cloudy hard to see the fish at the bottom.

I got mine up and running because when I looked via the water cam, the water was getting murky. I could still down to the bottom without an issue, but it seemed greenish. Within 24 hours of turning it on the water cleared beautifully.

My irises are growing too, the ones in the pond, the day lilies are starting to pop up everywhere. Usually this is end of march stuff, not end of february.

Only the little Snow Drops are actually blooming but other bulbs are putting up some leaves. Oh and the Hellebores are blooming but they are supposed to bloom in winter so no big surprise there.

My irises in the pond are starting to show growth and my roses are growing quite a bit. My lilac's and rhododendron are showing signs of getting ready to bloom :) Here is a pic of my rhodo from last year. I think it is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, it is in a spot you can't see well, but I will never move it or plant another since they are notorious for not surviving here due to the soil. I figure I am lucky with this one and shouldn't push my luck.

Lucky folks in lower elevations. Our zone is a 7 but because we are high 4100 feet above sea level, spring normally starts later and fall starts earlier.

DrCase do you know when our average last frost is? Just curious ours is 4/20.

One of my inside plants thinks Spring is on the way also!
It's called a Clivia miniata or Kaffir Lily or Bush Lily

Our last frost is 4/29, but normally after 4/1 you are safe.
