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 reticulata "Cantab"


Iris reticulata J.S. Djit

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
Arabis alpina caucasica
So this was another Garden Blogger's Bloom Day hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens.  Check-out Carol's post you will find links to many other gardener's blooms at mid-month.

    Love those Tete a Tete daffs. So much sturdier than many of the other early spring bulbs.

      I agree. This year the warm weather made the foliage come up in December then the tips of the leaves got burned by frost. Not as tidy as the years before when the hard frost was continuous. I don't complain about the winter! It was good for my "tips"!

    Oh, beautiful! I love your irises, mine have failed this year. I think it must be too wet for them here.

      Wetness is a problem for bulbs in my garden too!
