Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day March 2017

Northeast Mississippi, USA zone 7

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, March 14, 2017
My Hellebores are full of blooms. The colors of the older blooms are faded; the newer blooms are still pink.

These Daffodil blooms are small, but there are lots of them, two or more blooms on each stem.

Most of the larger Daffodils have finished blooming. I have just a few of these still in bloom.

Snowflakes, Leucojum, grown from bulbs, are in the Amaryllis family.

Easter Rose Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' is a native of Japan, China, and Korea.

I fear for my double white Clematis that is forming buds. Our temperatures are predicted to drop to 24F (-4C) overnight. If these buds are frozen, hopefully new buds will form.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

  1. Oh they are growing from the mulch of autumn leaves, how so beautiful. I bet you also have hippeastrum there! I am dreaming of walking barefoot on piles of autumn leaves. And those snowdrops are so beautiful, thought they grow during ice melting periods, seen them only once yet.

  4. Such a treat to see all your lovely spring blooms! After the unseasonably warm weather we had in February, I was expecting to have more in my garden by now, but winter has returned...sigh.

  7. Your blooms were welcome and, with you, I'll hope for the best. At least we had nothing blooming in our upstate New York yard. All we have now is nearly 3 feet of snow, but it should be above freezing again by Friday.

  8. Your Hellebores and Kerria are so lovely Lea and I am surprised to see so many Daffodils blooming already! We are in the same zone, but you must be a little warmer there. Happy GBBD!

  13. Hi Lea..it did not occur to me that your area could reach that low of temps? Despite your brush with cool temps, spring is well ahead for you than up here in the PNW. I enjoyed your pretty pictures! Happy GBBD!

  15. Oh no! I hope the clematis emerged unscathed!

  16. I'm jealous of those hellebores, Lea! Your winter weather must be so much cooler than ours - I was lucky to get 3 blooms on my hellebores. I hope the Clematis makes it through the freeze.

  19. I can't wait for my Hellebores to clump out like yours do - what a magnificent sight! Love the Kerria, too!

  20. Oh dear, I do hope your clematis survived that crazy freeze! They're pretty tough but I have no idea what 24 degrees would do to a bloom! Lovely bulbs and hellebores.

  21. It is a lot warmer at your place than here! Nice to see flowers!

  22. Colourful blooms, it's a risky time of year, isn't it? I hope your clematis stays safe.
