What's blooming now 2016
Time to start a new "what's blooming" thread for the new year.
Today I saw spring beauties (Claytonia) blooming and the spicebush too. Photos to come! What are you seeing in your area?

Lookin' good. Yes, as much as I love serviceberry, their flowers always seem too short-lived. Oh well, such is life...gotta enjoy it when you can...and appreciate the cycles that give us a chance to enjoy them anew each year.

Again, ahead of me, of course. However, with the mild winter and above average temperatures, I expect to have an early spring.

Nice photos, everyone! All I have so far is pussy willow. It's been quite warm though. Tulips and daffs and violets shouldn't be long now.

I like the blue violet linrose. My violets are only starting to show tiny leaves. It will be awhile before they flower.

I read somewhere where Nature teaches Patience- Luckily we didn't have a Polar Vortex this year. I'm struggling to finish my arbor and make beds for the sassafras trees I ordered. I was able to get a few days of weeding in between rain drops and while removing the spent Umbels from the sedum I noticed the mourning dove nest in the evergreen.

It's funny where you find nests sometimes. When doing a walkabout yesterday I saw a nest in the clematis that shares a trellis with the trumpet honeysuckle. It was so precarious I can't believe it survived.
