Hi there,
More bulb photos here. Crocus continue to bloom, the deer and slugs find them delicious. Scilla, Narcissus, and Iris also have early-blooming individuals. Some native bulbs budding, too. This year's timing seems way off from the last few years. Last year's über-mild winter contributed to an earlier bloom, this year is correspondingly delayed since it was colder.

Bees, spiders, and flies (oh my) are visiting the flowers when the weather is suitable:

Lots of seedlings are excellent this year, too. Seedling pictures to come.
