  1. Cherry, lilac, fuchsia, salvia, and snapdragon—maybe

    As I said a couple of weeks ago, we had an amazingly mild winter here in Seattle, a disturbingly mild winter. And spring. As predicted, the cherry tree exploded into puffs of pink. This was taken a few days ago:

    Blossom is about to start falling. In a week, the lawn will be carpet of pink flowers.

    Meanwhile, our two lilac trees (okay, one is ours, and one is the back neighbour’s, but it grows over our deck) are also getting in on the act. The one that grows over the kitchen deck is paler than the one that in the secret little north garden (not pictured) but it makes the deck smell heavenly.

    Also on the kitchen deck, we have tiny yellow flowers that come every year but whose name I can never remember. The geranium—an annual, not the perennial kind; it was not supposed to survive the winter—has grown huge, massive leaves reaching everywhere, but no sign of flower buds.

    However, we have our very first fuchsia buds swelling, which delights Kelley—she loves fuchsia (we have so much fuchsia, fuchsia of every kind, on the kitchen deck, the back deck, the front flower bed…)

    And two tiny flowers growing among our Hot Lips salvia—little red pinpricks among the green:

    And then there’s these, which I’m really, really hoping are snapdragons—I love snapdragons—but which I suppose could also be some kind of salvia:

    Meanwhile, on the back deck: nothing. Just a few green leaves growing here and there in pots. We’ll see what transpires…

  5. I think the #snapdragons look almost as ready for #spring weather as I am. (Just a couple more weeks, got to get past that last frost...)

  13. We grow 3 different coloured #snapdragons - these red ones, white & yellow ones too. We have more of the reds than the other two. Like pansies - snapdragons are hella resilient flowering plants. When well mulched, they survive & produce blooms in midst of Winter - defying snow & ice conditions.

    Snapdragons started being cultivated by gardeners in the 15th century.
