I finally remembered to take pictures of the tulips blooming at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. They're absolutely gorgeous this year.
 |
| I love this soft pink and yellow color combination with the pansies peeking out. |
 |
| These tulips are huge! |
In my own garden, the follwing things are in bloom today (even though it's in the 30s and snowing; thankfully, it's too warm to stick):
 |
| Candytuft, an evergreen perennial groundcover |
 |
| The forsythia shrubs are starting to bloom. Please don't prune these into little balls, people! Restrain yourselves! |
 |
| The camellia is in full swing, and I thought it had finished in December. |
 |
| The pussy willows are open and fluffy. I forced a vase full of branches several weeks ago, so I've been enjoying them indoors for some time already. |
 |
| The Chinese fringe-flowers (loropetalum) are blooming happily. |
 |
| The Chattahoochee phlox is starting to bloom. It'll be full and beautiful in another couple of weeks. |
 |
| Eeks! I forgot what these are. But hey, they're blooming! |
 |
| The peonies are all starting to emerge from their winter's snooze. I need to get the peony rings out now before I forget. |
 |
| A sweet little nest in a berry-laden firethorn (pyracantha). When the weather warms up, the birds will get downright soused off of these fermented berries. Seriously. It's a hoot. |
The hydrangeas and lilacs are leafing out. Lilies and daylilies are pushing up through the ground and growing tall. Everything is ready for spring (including me), so it really needs to stop these silly flurries and warm up already!
Wishing you happiness in spades,
M.R.S.
