Garden Blogger's Bloom Day - March 2016

Spring is here!  I hear it, I smell it, I see it! The sounds of birds and the smells of wet spring soil and decomposing leaves.  The early bloomers are here, mostly bulbs! What a happy sight!

Narcissus "Tete-a-Tete"

March started with nice weather and the blooms of Witch Hazel tree, Snow drops and Hellebore.

Snow drops or Galanthus nivalis (March 1)

Dwarf irises are a new addition in my garden as of last fall. One variety in yellow bloomed at the end of February at the same time with Snow drops.

Iris danfordiae (March 11)

Right now Iris reticulata and histrioides are in bloom.

Iris histrioides "Lady Beatrix Stanley"

My cell phone's camera captured this beauty much better than my Canon camera.

Rock cress is starting to bloom today
