That Mother

Despite what the calendar and my little garden flag say…. Mother Nature flipped the switch on us and we’ve been lucky to get a few degrees above freezing this past week.

All the crocuses are staying tight closed up! The only thing new that’s bloomed is a small clump of Glory of the snow.

And like the crocuses, it’s been staying tightly closed. I have several little clumps of it, in several different colours. Like the crocuses, it seems to be starting to multiply.

Speaking of multiplying, I’ve got several clumps of daffodils that I should probably break up this year after they are done flowering. So many of them have really expanded – I love it!

And last…

The pink pussywillow is starting to get its little pollen blobs… it would be covered in bees… if it was warm enough for bees to fly…

Sigh… maybe next week will be warmer.

  1. It’s 80 degrees here today and I am NOT happy. I can’t take these extremes. It’s really messing with my head today. When fall rolls around I feel giddy with happiness but spring? Hate it. the idea of the heat and humidity returning….ugh.

    Well, it’s 80 degrees here in North Carolina. Daffodils have bloomed out and tulips are now in bloom. It has been a beautiful spring and I think we had our last frost advisory earlier this week.
