Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, March 2024

The northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7b

I have three colors of Wild Violets.

.

These came up through the straw that I use to protect my Elephant Ears during the Winter.

Spring Snowflakes, Leucojum vernum

Most of my Daffodils bloomed halfway between Bloom Days, but I still have a few.

.

Our Pear Trees are blooming!

I know this small tree is a type of Magnolia, but I am not sure which one it is.

Flowering Almond is a small ornamental shrub.

Spirea

Kerria japonica

I am not sure that the Maple Tree seed pods qualify as blooms, but they are as pretty as any bloom I have!

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, February 2024

In January we had snow and sleet on the ground and below freezing temperatures for nine days. It set my flowers back several weeks. I looked at my February Bloom Day posts for the last few years. I had masses of Daffodils, but this year I have only a few buds.

Hopefully, my March Bloom Day post will be full of Daffodils!

Hellebores just laugh at cold weather!

The Spirea has only a few blooms, but I am hoping for hundreds of these tiny blooms in the next few weeks!

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day

The 15th of each month is Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day over at May Dreams Gardens.

I am in the northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7b.

A wildflower, Spiderwort, blooming in the rain. The other photos were made before the rain began.

Another wildflower, Butterweed, likes moist soil, and we have had plenty of rain this Spring!

Wild Violets

Most of my Daffodils bloomed last month, but there are still a few of these that make two blooms per stem.

 Hellebores

Red Buckeyes are shrubs that attract Hummingbirds.

Clematis

In memory of the time when Foliage Follow-up was the day after Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day: the leaf of a Tulip Poplar Tree waiting to unfurl.

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, March 2023

The 15th of each month is Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens.

Here in the northeast corner of Mississippi, March began with rain, rain and more rain. Today is sunny, but rain is in the forecast again for Friday.

Our Pear Trees are blooming!

Most of the Daffodils bloomed in February, but we still have a few today.

Another February bloomer, now in March, the Hellebores are beginning to lose their color.

The Flowering Almond, a small shrub, is just beginning to open its buds.

The Spirea blooms look like tiny roses!

Spring Beauty is a tiny wildflower.

Wild Violets are beginning to pop up under the pear trees.

My Buckeyes are budding. Their tubular blooms are a favorite of the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that hopefully will be here by the first of April.

The Maple Tree buds may not qualify as blooms, but they are so pretty that I wanted to include them!

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day and Saturday's Critters

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, March 28, 2022

My Flowering Almond, Prunus glandulosa, bloomed at the end of March, but it is so pretty that I wanted to include it today anyway. It is a small ornamental shrub that, despite its name, does not produce almonds.

A Bumble Bee for Saturday's Critters.

I have only a few Daffodils still blooming here in mid-April. Most of them bloomed in February and March.

My white Irises are blooming. My purple ones are still asleep!

Mayapples, Podophyllum peltatum, are native North American wildflowers that are hardy in zones 3 - 8. You might find them for sale at a garden center that carries wildflowers. I bought two plants 5 or 6 years ago, and they have multiplied.

Their tiny white flowers are hidden under the leaves.

Buckeyes - their tubular, red blooms attract Hummingbirds!

Butterweeds, Packera glabella, are wildflowers that like wet soil. We have had a lot of rain, and they are springing up everywhere in our yard. After they finish blooming, they will be mowed down. But they will be back in full force next year!

Wild Violets are happy to enjoy the rain or the sunshine, they love it all.

Another Wildflower, Spring Beauty, Claytonia virginica.

First bloom on my Azalea.

Wisteria grows so fast it is hard to control, but the butterflies love the pretty blooms.

Flowering Dogwood tree, Cornus florida.

Pink Flowering Dogwood tree, Cornus florida var. rubr.

Our Apple Tree is blooming!

Now for a look at things to come...

... buds on my double-white Clematis!

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

and

Happy Easter!
