Today is Sunday!

While it's not been a warm sunny day, it's not a cold Winter's day! We can be very grateful. ;-) At this writing, 5:42 P.M., the sun has peeked out in full force, even though the sky is still very cloudy.

A few things are beginning to bloom, or are nearly blooming, in several of my beds. Here are a couple of photos.

Siberian Squill ("Scilla Siberica") and Early Snow Glories ("Chionodoxa forbeisii")
The S. Squill are looking at their "toes" and the E.S. Glories
are smiling at us!

With forcythia nearing full blossom, you can catch a peek
at the other tiny blossoms off towards the right.
Here's a closer look. They say both these plants propagate freely.
I say, "Go for it! Multiply rapidly!"
(While I'm not advertising for the site, this provides a nice description.)

These are so very cute and petite, as they're only about
six inches tall. You might notice how fortunate I was
when I planted other daffodil bulbs last Fall.
I seem to have just barely missed a direct "hit"
on a group of Tete-a-tete bulbs! (second photo)

The forecast states warm weather ahead. Wonderful news! Perhaps I'll show these same plants in full bloom in a couple of days! :-)

Perhaps you'd like to see what I discovered "peeking out" last week when I was raking!
Pulmonaria (Lungwort) "Diana Clare"
Pulmonaria (lungwort) "Trevi Fountain"Pulmonaria (Lungwort) "Baby Blue"
Heuchera (Coral Bells) "Amber Waves"It does look as though I should have been wearing gloves!
