What's happening in the garden today.

The first crocus



The helebores are blooming



Garya Eliptica puts on its winter show.



Last year's carnations are still hanging in there. (Maybe I should give them a hair cut).



The cyclamens are still blooming.



Tulips appearing



The brugs don't mind being left outside.



The lemons have stood up to the winter so far.

Thanks for sharing those pictures! I need to be reminded of spring and green, growing plants outside. Weather here today is horrible!! Temps -17F and wind chill -41F. Thankfully we have snow cover, but it's darn cold.

I have read Zone 0 average winter temps range down to -45...couldn't tell the difference today in "balmy" zone 4b/5a central Wisconsin!
