Spring has arrived on March 13th.

I cannot believe it but the garden says it's spring. We are at least two weeks, if not more, ahead of schedule. I took pictures while wearing a light shirt. The hellebores have been open for a while. The vinca is now blooming, the daffodils opened today and the camellia is ready to pop. This is all mind boggling!!!

Thanks but let's not get carried away : ) We hardly see you lately Linda. I hope that means business is good.

What lovely pictures. Our neighbor's Cherry Tree is in full bloom. We are still waiting for ours to bloom.

I think Spring arrived here months ago. My entire yard is pretty much Azaleas and Camellias. I have the kind that seem to bloom multiple times during the year so some are completely here and some are dying back. I am really, really embarrassed to be posting these photos that I just ran outside and took in the very late afternoon. My wonderful Nikon is in the shop having it's sensor cleaned so I grabbed my Canon G9 to take these pictures. Never again...horrible photos and I couldn't even get it to focus on spot focus...WTD??? I guess that says it all for me with Nikon and Canon!!! So here are some very out of focus and strange color of my garden.

What you really should be embarrassed about is "cheating". Of course southern California is blooming. Duh. And only one or two shots s not up to you high standards. Thanks for posting.

I agree, cheating ;)

Here in the great frozen North we still have snow! There will probably also be one more snowfall this month (there's always a last March "hoorah" before it goes away until next Winter).

Great shots - I've had those California melon-sized lemons, they're tasty! My brother (lives in the SF bay area) has a lemon tree that produces gargantuan lemons year-round.

I've been enjoying all the blooming photos! What a great time of year! Thought I'd share one of my favorite magnolias, they are the first to bloom in our yard every year. Happy Spring!
