There are definitely rumours in the garden that spring is on the way. One camellia bush is in full flower and the other one is covered in buds about to burst out.
This tree is an early starter with these blossoms thinking about showing - most of the rest of them are still completely bare. It's not any warmer but the days are starting to get longer.
The daffs are starting to come up, and the jonquils are everywhere. The roses that I pruned so severely have some buds ... although some shoots that are never going to sprout again. Oooops, sorry roses.
We're a bit nervous about spring and things growing ... having barely gained control of some small fraction of the garden, it's an intimidating thought that everything is going to start fighting back. And because it will be our first spring we have no idea what exists underground or what half these plants are. Is it dead or is it deciduous? We're about to find out.
It is so fascinating to see all your burgeoning Spring happening down there while we are watching Summer fade away here--despite these steamy, hot days; even the tree leaves are looking faded and tired...but I do so love Fall, my favorite of the Seasons...thanks for sharing your lovely florals...;)))
