Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?

Ha! There is something blooming around here after all.
Mr wtg and I went for a brief walk which took us past our friends' house, and lo and behold, their witch hazel is in fragrant full bloom!! I smelled it before I saw it.
I love both the scent and the delicate spidery-looking flowers.

Spring is here, and after 44days of overcast rain we are forecast sun on Saturday
My snowdrops finally started blooming this past week, about three weeks later than they did the last couple of (very warm) winters.
I was afraid my chives might not have made it through our extended deep freeze, but they are coming up.

Not exactly a bloom, but we emerged from winter this week and I found this little tree. Yikes!
It’s a dwarf weeping Altas Cedar. It came through the winter of ‘24-‘25 just fine, but the cold snap this winter may have killed it. What? Don’t cedars grow in Alaska and stuff?
Nursery guy says it’s probably fine - that it will drop the brown needles and grow new ones. Sure enough, the branches are still pliable so maybe there is hope.

@bernard As I've said in other threads, I've since discovered we're also in a drought. It's getting worse. It makes sense, in retrospect, because not only did we not have any storms during hurricane season, we had the least amount of rain last year in eight years as far as I can tell. I had almost no weeds in the rock garden. I had to weed it a few times. The previous year, the weeds grew up past my knees and kind bent over. I'm guess this was some type of grass. The plastic under the rock beds is almost as old as time. I won't have to weed again. I'll have moved long before it becomes necessary.
Oahu, on the other hand, is having catastrophic flooding.
