What is blooming in mid-March?  Quite a bit.

In fact the Iris reliculata are almost done.

The Bleeding Heart is coming up strong and true. 

Trillium "Volcano". Can't wait to see this 'uncaged' for the first time as it safely behind the deer fence. 

Daffodils

Hellebores

My sister planted spinach (Seed) three weeks ago.  Last weekend she planted lettuce (seed) and set out these sweetpeas.

  2. Lovely flowers! I can't get over how thick and strong your bleeding heart shoots look. Must check mine ... when the snow melts.

  3. I love your stitched flowers and the real ones are so beautiful! I hope the little bit of snow and cold weather we've had hasn't killed all our blooming flowers and trees. I'm ready for spring and you definitely are!
