Re: What's blooming in your garden?

Well, there's not a flake of snow in Truro, Nova Scotia, but the ground is still frozen. I have tulips pushing through but that's about it. Can I count my Baltimore Oriole? (who is definitely an unusual 'bloom' at my feeders this winter. He's going through grape jelly faster than I go through cookies - and that's quite a feat for a bird probably 1/80 my size!)

  I have a full blown garden of icicle roses, fleur-crispa, and some  
  very nice early blooming white stuff I got on sale last fall and  
  haven't identified yet.   Mind you the darn snow fleas are eating the  
  foliage again so I've ordered a case of ice worm predators to take  
  care of them.

  Ah yes, the early spring garden is an amazing sight.
