I brought four large trash bags of composted pine needles and oak leaves back from my lake house and put spread them around the blueberry plants in the raised beds. The blueberries are blooming and even have juvenile berries on them.

The azaleas are starting to open here. In another week, the bushes should be covered with blooms.

Did some of yours bloom early, as in December? I had several bushes that are in sun for better than half the day start to bloom. The one that are more shaded are just stating to now. I was wondering if that was going to mess up the amount of blooms this spring, and the answer is yes. The ones that bloomed early looks like they used about half their buds.

Indian Hawthorne and a pansy. My pansies were beaten down pretty bad over the winter by rabbits, but lately they have relented.

The Bluebonnets at the edge of my garden are starting to set blooms. Spring is definitely here.

crab apple and azaleas

I planted the crab apple in the spring of 2012 and this is the first year blooming. The azaleas were planted last spring. The variety is Massasoit.

My first flowers of spring.... They are about a month early but I am ready.

We have a small cactus that sits in a pot in a bathroom window. Frankly, I'm usually doing well to remember to occasionally water it. It doesn't get looked at too much. Yesterday, I glanced over and had to do a double take. Small blooms have popped-up. We've had the cactus for 2 or 3 years, and I don't remember it blooming before. Thought I'd better take a quick pic and share. The blooms are tiny, but intricate and beautiful.

The Bluebonnets at the edge of the garden have started blooming. I only have one surviving cluster. What they don't have in quantity, they make up for in quality. One of my favorite plants.

OrangeTxn · « **Reply #37 on:** March 14, 2016, 09:41:15 AM »

The Azaleas have also started blooming. I like the different colored blooms on the different varieties of bushes. Unfortunately, the only color we have in our yard is white.

OrangeTxn · « **Reply #38 on:** March 20, 2016, 05:55:33 AM »

The azaleas are in full bloom. Our bushes only have white flowers (the prior homeowner really liked white, so that's all they planted) These bushes are at a local church, and I really like the mixed colors. Unfortunately, the non-hybrid azaleas don't stay in bloom for long - maybe two or three weeks if a storm doesn't strip the blooms off. If you blink, you may miss them.

Here in the Southeastern US, azaleas are a fixture in many yards, particularly older homes, and their blooms are a sign that spring is on the way.

all the pics are so pretty. thanks for sharing!

i have a big azalea bush in our side yard. it blooms the deep pink. the bush got that weird thinned out look like it does before it wants to flower, but so far, no flowers. when i went out to mulch i did notice there are some buds on the smaller azaleas in front of our front deck. i will be excited if they flower this year.

i am also waiting for our tulips. the leaves are up and out, but no sign of the flower chutes yet. i will be sure to get pics when they come up.
