Hi Pat,
 
Thank you so much for sharing your site with us. This is amazing. Our son Justin is in his third year of college up at Humboldt...his major is wildlife biology! I have sent him this link. Your web site is WONDERFUL! Thank-you again for sharing.
 
In Ca. is looks like it is starting to look and feel like Spring! Where are you located?

Hi Loïc;
 
You are reminding me that I have to go around and replant a few that the squirrels dug up over winter. )-;  Looks like you are going to have a great display this year.
 
We have had it turn around and snow on our crocii recently so how safe the plants are at present is anyone's guess.
 
Here we had some new growth on plants like clematis, hydrangeas, etc., and then a sudden cold snap that has killed the shoots so we are definitely looking forward to seeing what has survived here.  We *have*  been assuming that spring is close based upon the activity with all the eagle webcams http://www.hancockwildlife.org/index.php?topic=cam-sites  I gather one of the nests has an egg as of two days ago, so presume we can't turn back to winter now.
 
Believe it or not, after 3 months of non-stop freeze, the irises are still alive and almost kicking :
 
Except the seeds that are still sound asleep in their pots, everything is starting to grow!
 
Is that what is called Spring, at last?
