Joe, that sounds beautiful. Leadfingers, if you live anywhere near me, I'd love to come over and work in your garden. I'm in Montpelier VT now, and the crocuses are blooming.

The dogwoods were out in East Texas a couple of weeks ago (probably still are). I think it's just after peak bluebonnet season. One of our azaleas is still blooming even though it's just a tad late for them, too (the other one is totally confused and blooms continuously from October through March).

I haven't seen anything here yet(Northern MN), but a few small buds on trees and I saw a start of pussy willow today. Everything is so dry around here things are slow to bloom.
Some of our early flowers I haven't seen like Marsh Marigold, Bellwort, Trillium, Rue Anemone- soon I hope!

The iris have it hands down in the yard right now. And salvia greggi are going full-tilt. Whoosh, but there's a lot of color out in my front garden!
