First Day of Spring!

Spring is finally here, hooray!  Below are the latest pics of my Daffodils and another from our Camelia bush.  I love Spring in Atlanta.  There is a different color every week.  I just posted a pic that I took on my phone on campus last week.  I don't know what those trees are but they are always first.  Below is a pic in a neighbors yard, from today, of the next ones that open.  I'm not sure what it is either.  Next week should be the Bradford Pears.  Atlanta has lots of them along the highways and the buds are starting to open.  Macon, Georgia (about 60 miles south of me) has a Cherry Blossom Festival this weekend through next weekend.  So, I suppose those are about to bloom as well.  We have a row of them surrounding the campus green at work, so I'll get some pictures of them soon.

 

The Flowers Are Here!

Could it really be Spring?!  I really hope so, because this has been a long cold winter by Atlanta's standards.  I came home today to find my first Daffodil open.  YAY!!!  Here's the pictures along with some of our Camelia bush flowers.  They get the strangest patterns on them, but they are pretty.

Spring!? Please!?

It was in the 60's this weekend and sunny.  Felt great!  I finished all the leaves I didn't finish in the fall.

Last fall I dug up all our tulip and daffodil bulbs.  The greenery would come up but they weren't flowering anymore.  I then planted all new bulbs.  Every Sunday, I have been taking pictures as they start coming up.  Here are the last three weeks.  I'll keep updating each week.  Click on the pic for full size.
