Our first daffodil is in bloom. I think it's called Minnow, and the flowers last a long time.
I don't know the name of this one (or rather, I've been told several times but always forget). H brought this back from his daughter's house in Michigan, they have them growing throughout their lawn and hate it! Tsk!
Crocuses also started this week.
And this isn't really a spring garden bulb, but I attempted to water some of the plants I could reach in the basement and found this (sorry, bad pic) It had a second flower spike that was bent in half, and I cut it off and stuck it in some water. That one also opened today.
Today we went in to "the big city", Knoxville. On the way home we saw forsythia blooming on the hill next to the freeway (I was tempted to stop and pull them up), and also saw wild daffodils (or narcissus, I call everything yellow a daff) in the woods next to the road as well.
Kind of exciting! Everything else is still gray and dead looking, but you just know spring is on the way!
