The first crocus flowers appeared this weekend but the flowers didn’t open all the way because it was rainy and cloudy:
And my Sedum ‘Neon’ plants have already started growing happily, insulated by a blanket of leaves:
It’s been a rough month for Snowdrops. They have had to endure some crazy weather.
Many of the pretty, white-flowered plants started blooming when the temperature hit 70 degrees (F) last month, but soon after we had lows in the teens along with several days of advisory-criteria winds that desiccated the leaves and flowers.
Two weeks ago the ground was blanketed with 4 inches of fresh snow which was followed one week later by severe thunderstorms that dumped hail throughout the area.
Despite all of that, these tough little plants continue to bloom.

Great to see signs of Spring. The fist week of March came in quietly but the last two weeks have been snowy and very cold. It was -15 C last night. Right now it’s -10. Major snowfall for Thursday and Friday! Only Rudbeckia under lights yet. Planning to start some Zinnias in a few days; red and purple peony poppies, and that’s it except for the Dahlias I saved over the winter. Your Dreamland Zinnias look great! I find that Zahara work best for me because our frequent damp spells. Keep sowing! James
It sounds like our whiplash weather must be coming from Canada. 🙂
