We’ve finally entered our 3rd spring here so all the early work is finally paying off. My red flowering currants are putting on quite the show, from a soft blush to a raging magenta, which looks awesome with how I have them clustered.
The tiny white blooms of the osoberry have been lighting up the shaded parts of the forest and they look like little fairies dancing in the shadows.
I’m just waiting on the camas to start. They’re just sprouting up in my flower beds and I’m looking forward to the sea of blue. I have about 150 of them, so it’s quite a sight.
A lone rue anemone. I planted them last year along with some blue phlox and didn’t think any survived… I was very surprised to see this one. I have sky blue aster, cut leaf coneflower, and eastern blue star starting to emerge, but they won’t bloom until late spring, summer and fall.
Spring is not here, on the Canadian prairies. Expecting -16C (5F) over the next couple of nights. We are probably 3 weeks from anything green appearing, and the native anemone a week or two after that.

Denver checking in. Golden currants and alpine strawberries blooming nicely here! Harebells too though so far only for my neighbors, mine haven’t started yet.

Just bloodroot so far!
Hepatica acutiloba, and that’s it so far here in Chicagoland. I absolutely love that this is my first glimpse of spring 😍

So far just Bloodroot, Lyre Leaved Rock Cress, Hepatica, and Red Maple but Virginia Bluebells and Jacob’s Ladder should open any day now.
Amur honeysuckle, Creeping charlie and Multiflora rose! So beautiful 🥲
