In my area of the country we've got tulips, dogwoods and a few narcissus. How about you? |

All our azaleas, Bradford Pears etc are over. Right now, we're actually heading into roses, pyracantha and other stuff that I need to look up

Seems like everything!
I went out this morning and my car was covered in yellow pollen. Good thing I don't have allergies The leaves on the trees are out. The peak blossom time for the cherry blossoms has passed, but when they were out, they were beautiful. Looked like pink cotton candy. I didn't go to DC this year to see the cherry blossoms, but the ones around the neighborhood were just fine.LOL. |

Lots and lots of wildflowers! The oaks are starting to get their leaves, but the daffodils are done. I only had one tulip bloom this year and it is still pink and pretty, but not for much longer. We had a crazy spring, really warm - got everything going and then more snow. Still it is nice to see everything coming back to life, I wasn't too sure about some of the trees after the wildfires, but many seems to be OK. |

Our tulips are FINALLY starting to look good. The area where I live (Skagit County in NW Washington State) is the largest producer of tulips and other bulb flowers in the country, and we have fields of tulips of tulips and daffodils that compare to corn or wheat fields in other parts of the country (but way more colorful). Unfortunately, our weather has been so cold this year that everything is really late. We have our "Tulip Festival" that runs the entire month of April, but this year there haven't been hardly any tulips participating. Last weekend we had a huge street fair in town, and it snowed! Not normal this late in this neck of the woods!
We're also seeing flowering cherries, forsythia, and the lilacs and rhododendrons are just getting ready to pop - probably in another week if the forecast for good weather for the next few days holds. I'm soooo ready for winter to finally be over!

I was in Mt Vernon the end of last May/early June last year visiting my dad and his wife. I love it up there!!! I lived in Edmonds when I was little, before my mom moved us back to So Cal. Missing seasons and especially the trees is why I got my husband to agree to move to the mountains here, I'm afraid this is as far north as I can get him to go (born here, lived here all his life ) |
