Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?
-
Field garlic and crocuses.

Oh, wow!! Absolutely gorgeous...
I'm jealous. All I have coming up are chives, which are nice. And dandelions, which are not.

I just realized I'll never have anything for this thread. I don't have a green thumb. My grandmother has one. So I know the difference. My college girlfriend's comment when first seeing my house was, "Who does your landscaping?" I did now the grass.
But I'm going to be a city dweller. I'm going to be living in an apartment building for the first time.
I would have a house and garden as my first choice. I would ideally have one and a city apartment. I'm hardly unique in that way.
I'm now going completely off topic, to say that I'm really looking for a Florida condo that is in a cement block building but doesn't have a dated, cliched, vacation themed interior, and doesn't look like a rental apartment.
I know I'm lucky to be able to do it and, although nothing will take away my joy in it, I'll have to wait for a thread on house plants.
Disclaimer- I own only two house plants and both live outside- a cactus I've had for eight years and an aloe vera plant a neighbor gave me a few years ago. I've decided not to take either one of them because they wouldn't survive.

Your cactus may flower if conditions change. Neglect it then water it then neglect it and see?
Could also be structural plants or trees rather than colour. Bamboo, pampas grass,
are attractive.
And there must be public gardens or planters?Here there are currently masses of yellow daffodils everywhere, on verges and roundabouts where the council have planted; also on minor roadsides where house owners have planted a single line for a mile
.And in planters in towns there are fragrant hyacinth, one of my favourite flowers.

And just over our garden fence where we see it far easier than our neighbours, one of the most beautiful camellia bushes ever
Look at all the buds. Cut 5 flowers and they last 3 days indoors, but there's a months supply. I feel a cutting coming on.

Well you do have to look at/for them, MrsA often has her nose on her phone pokemonning.
Here are my birthday flowers
I love freesias

We have a dogwood tree in our yard. Somehow, neither of us remembered that! We are actually wondering if it didn’t bloom last year, if that’s possible? Anyway, it’s pink, which is lovely. I’ll try to grab a pic later.
The cherry blossoms in the neighborhood were not very impressive this year, the weather did them in I think. They were still pretty but not as spectacular as last spring. But they are all done.
Now the crabapples are blooming, really gorgeous. (They seem more robust than the cherry trees). The red bud trees are blooming too. And lots of cheery daffodils.

We planted a dogwood on our parking strip last fall. It looked like twigs when the neighborhood magnolias and cherry trees were blooming. Now it’s time!
Enchanting.

Beautiful!

Greetings from Seville! Early Spring here and flowers are just beginning to bloom. Took these pictures at the Pilates Palace this morning
