I'm really envious, because I haven't seen a darned thing blooming around here! Maybe in a botanic garden somewhere, but I wouldn't know, because I don't live near enough to any to visit frequently.

In another month, the lilacs will be blooming, and tulips will start coming up, but right now? Nada. I haven't even seen any forsythia, which is one of the earliest blooming shrubs in these parts (northern Illinois). I love forsythia, because it makes such a bright splash of sunshine yellow at a time when most things are still blah around here, but I haven't seen any in ages. If I had a yard, I'd for sure plant some. But we're apartment dwellers, so that's not an option.

Anyway, thanks for sharing these beautiful bursts of color with us! And sorry for all the complaining!
