The Flowers of Spring
What’s Blooming in My Garden on the First Day of Spring
Celebrate the Vernal Equinox with flowers. Seattle’s climate allows for an early Spring. Warm winters can mean blossoms on the forsythia as early as Valentine’s Day. This year they didn’t bloom until early March, but I’ll take it! The daffodils and hyacinths have been blooming for weeks, and the tulips are starting to bud.
My apologies if you’re still snowed under, please enjoy the blooms virtually here.

Remember all the glorious spring flowers we had in our garden when we were kids? Oh, I miss that garden. I adore spring flowers. Someone told me my forsythia might not bloom as well this year because of the harsh winter. My winter wasn’t as harsh as hers so I’m hoping my forsythia has a chance.
Oh so lovely. Andie what are the flowers that look like raspberries?
A PNW native shrub—red flowering current (Ribes sanguineum). Common from central CA to British Columbia.
