As I wrote in my last post I was wondering which flower would have been the first to bloom. As I discovered this morning in the garden, during the quick but late cut of the hydrangeas spent flowers, there was no winner. There were many. The Camelia Sasanqua showed the first two deep pink flowers in the front garden while in the side garden the helleborus niger kept on illuminating the shadow with their brilliant whites. In the back garden crocuses, an early flowering variety of narcissum and the daphne odorosa bushes were showing off for me.
Every where decorative garlic and tulip’s bulbs were pushing their spikes through the umid ground.

What joy! In my garden there is still a lot of snow, but I am hoping it will be gone soon. It will be +10 on the weekend, that should get rid of a lot of it.

ciao patientgardener, thanks for adding me to your faves.
Waiting to see your daffodils open! I hope to post soon the pictures of my garden’s white daffodils in bloom. Let’s keep in touch…The forecast say that maybe it will snow in venice in the next two days. In Rome anyway it’s sunny and warm. Have a nice sunday.

Andrea, How lovely to see spring arriving there … while here mounds of snow cover the landscape… but… it is warming and the snow will melt! Meanwhile I can enjoy your blooms from faraway! I am not sure if I said this but I found you over at blotanical! So glad you joined! It is a great place to get more exposure for your blog. ;>) Carol
