Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day: Green fuse now lit

Snow Crocus

Our Bloom's Day offering is quite meager: our first specious crocus flowers came out a couple of days ago. These lonely little flowers will soon be joined by many others. The snowdrops started blooming a week ago.

Looking forward to the official start of spring at the end of the week. Best of all, we have a few mild days ahead, and it's Canada Blooms week. My hort-buddy from Michigan is coming for a visit. Mini holiday!

  1. How lovely! I wish the crocuses were up here in Toronto, but I haven't seen any outside yet.

  5. Still slim pickings for all of us northern gardeners; but so nice to have something actually blooming in the garden at last, isn't it?!

  6. What joy!
    Like Rosemary I haven't seen any signs of either snowdrops or crocus here - just a "few" kilometres south of you. I am starting to think that I have lost them.
    Voles?

  9. Hi Country Gardener,
    If you noticed Carol's latest post, she asked us to visit the 2 posts before and after ours, since there are too many for her to visit all of. She wanted to make sure all of them received visits and comments.

    That was a great idea. Those early spring bulbs sure are pretty! I am so excited it's almost spring!

  11. I just love the little Crocuses. They have a charm all their own. Mine have just started blooming too.
