Thanks Cinda,
(two are a garden I installed and maintained in our town and the last is our own garden).
Put our garden spring bulbs (pictures to date) on Northern Garden forum: Spring Bulbs (2013)
and just started putting same for perennials on Northern Garden forum: Spring Perennials (2013).
There's several of us on those threads with more northerly climates.
Like you interested to see what's happening with fellow perennial gardeners with similar climate challenges (and opportunities).
Our own garden is bulb-wise at the stage of species tulips and daffodils
and perennial-wise at the beginning, with the earliest lungbanes, brunnera, primula, etc., blooming.
Our Hardiness Zone is 5a, Toronto, just south of us is 5b (as yours) and is a bit more advanced than us.
Very happy to say we haven't had snow since early April (though late spring for us).
Other folk on above threads haven't been so lucky.
Now worried about a two week potential dry spell.
Be interested to hear where your garden is at this time.
Charlie
