Start of the 2012 season! A mild winter and warm spring brings early flowers.

Narcissus "Chromacolor" is one of the best performing daffodils. It blooms just as the King Alfred's are starting to wane. 
The  Plum trees are blooming nice this spring. This is by far the best display since we planted the trees.


The mild winter and very warm spring (its 83 in March!) really made the slow growing Helleborus bloom heavily. They have been blooming since December.
Forsythia is usually one of the first to bloom. Its now blooming with the trees.
We planted a Chinese Apricot tree last spring and this is the first season for blooms. It appears to have  settled in nicely so we expect lots of growth this season.
The classic Peach tree blossoms.  The plants are flowering so early that we don't have many pollinators to take advantage of the flowers.
