What's blooming?

What's blooming in my yard today? Winter honeysuckle, snowdrops, snow crocus, daffodils (both King Alfred and February Gold), regular crocus, alyssum, anemones, dandelions, those little purple weeds whose name I can never remember, and those little white weeds that I think are called don't-touch-me because they shoot their seeds out in a really satisfying yet irritating way when you do, some weeks from now.

My sympathies to everyone under several feet of snow in the east. It's not far in the back of my mind that we may have a drought this summer because we're not building up snowpack in the mountains now, but I'll enjoy this spring while it happens.

My daffodils haven't bloomed yet, although they're on the verge. The grape hyacinth hasn't bloomed yet either. Your microclimate is clearly warmer than mine!

You have to squint to see the blooming grape hyacinths in my microclimate. Squint, or get down on your hands and knees in weeding position. I know you spend a fair amount of time in that position yourself.

The bees are active, too.
