I'm now making a list of "Spring-Blooming Perennials"
for California.  I would hope that the European
members of this forum would also offer their notes. 
Those of you in the Southern Hemisphere are welcome to
join in if you can remember what was blooming during
your "spring".

Ideally, I'm looking for those perennials (and
"subshrubs") that are peaking with their bloom about
now (March-May).

Thank you,
Joe
