    my garden is in the same phase as Kiki13's - snowdrops blooming, tulip leaves only just emerging from the ground.

    several alliums have broken through the ground and have about 2 inches of “green” showing. First sign of spring in my yard.

    Noticed that I haven’t seen very many robins yet.

    Planted a tray of brussels sprouts, roma tomatoes and multicolor sweet peppers. Snow is still melting, but all will be ready in two months.

    gmafoley- spring has finally arrived for you. My flowers are very happy today. They are loving the non-stop rain over the past 48 hours

    GmaFoley, how wonderful to see your hummingbird and daffodils! Starting to see some daffodils here, and a few bright crocuses. Hummingbirds should be here by mid April. I'll have my feeder ready!

    I don't plant until the wild irises bloom - That is our marker for spring and planting. Daffodils bloom early and snow can still come.

    Jazzy, Do you know what the plants are? The bottom one resembles a hellebore but mine droop a lot more than that.

    We now have daffodils, helebores, hyacinths and anemone blandas. I love the latter. They have a very tiny leaf body and the flowers are like tiny blue and white daisies. They come up in the spring and disappear after about 6 weeks. I don't know how they spread, but they do moderately.

    Wren- yes, a heliobore on the bottom. From Lowes.

    The top is one of the first blooming wild flowers here in March, but figuring out the name. More to follow!

    Those are gorgeous Jo. Remind me of my grandparents. They collected orchids for years and had a big greenhouse in their back yard

    Thanks- I love my orchids. They provide me with endless hours a pleasure. I do not have a greenhouse. My real challenge is the summer heat in Miami. I try to move my orchids to as much shade as possible and keep my fingers crossed. I really enjoy the pictures of spring peeking out during winter time up north. For so many of you, hearing a bird sing or piece of greenery or flowers blooming must be a relief knowing warmer weather is around the corner. For so many of you, winter was brutal this year.

    I ordered some hardy lavender early this spring. Will probably buy a rose-cone to protect it during the winter. I am watching my mint-garden for signs of growth.
