There is nothing blooming at my new (to me) garden. That lack will have to be rectified. But my daughter Cadence was going right by the old place yesterday, and I asked her to take pictures. So I can tell you that the winter aconites (Eranthis spp.) are now blooming.

The old and the new. This year's winter aconites snuggled up with last year's hydrangea blossom. And I think that hellebore in the back is trying to bloom.
I thought, with the mild winter we had, that everything must be so early. But I think I had to go back to 2008 before I found a March “bloom day” post that had nothing blooming. True, things started blooming earlier this year, but the Crocus Bank, which faces north, is just beginning to send out the first scouts of what will soon be an invasion.
But this Siberian squill (Scilla siberica) is definitely ahead of schedule: Hmm, where should I plant them in the new garden?Inspired by the words of Elizabeth Lawrence, “We can have flowers nearly every month of the year,” Carol of May Dreams Gardens started Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. On the 15th of every month, garden bloggers from all over the world publish what is currently blooming in their gardens, and leave a link in Mr. Linky and the comments of May Dreams Gardens.
Awesome… Nice post .. i like to read that types of gardening articles. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful flowers..
Love the river of snowdrops!
I love that snowdrop river. I moved a few bulbs from the ‘orchard’ to the herb bed in front of the house so I would know when they began to bloom. That is all I have at this time of the year – but it is nearly a month earlier than usual.
I wish I had blue anthers.
Plant them everywhere! (Hah – there’s a good answer.) Love that snowdrop river.
I am so with you on the spread a little more each year work ethic, Kathy. That is how one gets those rivers. Your blooms are so sweet, and how nice to have so much from which to *borrow* when planting you new garden!
Your snowdrop river is breathtaking!! Happy Bloom Day!!
