Maybe not four... probably more like 2 or 3, but still. <BR/><BR/>I adore spring flowers. They are one of the primary reasons I fight with myself as to whether fall or spring is my favorite season.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532697564402422745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-13451599465545683602008-02-12T07:54:00.000-06:002008-02-12T07:54:00.000-06:00The first bloom of the year, always an important o...The first bloom of the year, always an important occasion!

We used to get at least a *little* every year or two. But we've only ever gotten as much as a foot once in the past 100 years or so!<BR/><BR/>Nina, I kept hearing gardeners talking about seeing "noses". Well I don't have a wildflower garden per se right now - just the woods at our place. So my random leaf displacements didn't show me anything. So when Hubby spotted this already-up little jewel, I really was thrilled.<BR/><BR/>Pablo, we had witch hazel at our old house, but so far I haven't found any here. Really these are just little oddities. They were both in a small ravine -- maybe better protected? (I can guarantee you I get no respect around here!)<BR/><BR/>Pamela, yeah I usually don't see the majority of them until much later. Probably a month later! But we'll start seeing a few more in a couple of weeks, I imagine. Your mother was right, more or less... they take 7 years to bloom from seed, anyway!<BR/><BR/>Frances, thanks so much, you're a real sweetie!Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-73520723934366095012008-02-10T16:55:00.000-06:002008-02-10T16:55:00.000-06:00To show what we really think of your blog, You hav...To show what we really think of your blog, You have been awarded the E for Excellence.
