SUMMARY: Already, spring flowers!
The temperatures this weekend are supposed to be near-record highs for these dates. Unbelievable, given the 2,000-mile-wide snowstorm moving across most of the rest of the country, including Arizona and some southeastern states:

And YET, it really is still winter, and the danger of overnight frost remains. It's not TOO surprising that, on Friday, I saw the first yellow buds on my daffodils, and those few finally popped open Saturday.
But I was blown away Friday when I noticed that one of my roses, still mostly bereft of leaves, has put out two bright pink buds. And on Saturday, they were also happily opening.
Yep ahhhh, there's a lot to like about living in San José.
Yay! Spring flowers in February! I have a clump of daffodils blooming out back. I haven't yet gone out front to check on the patch out there.
ReplyDeleteEven more are blooming today!
ReplyDeleteFlowers in February! Wonderful. Even if viewed from way over here under a snow drift.
