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

[AndyD]

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.

Sounds beautiful!

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

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.

@AndyD Me, too! I have a bag of freesia bulbs I bought at Costco. I need to get them planted ASAP...

In London for a few days:


I think this front garden hedge will be bright yellow in a few days

I stopped and took a photo of some daffs.
The circular bed on the left is mainly tulips with hyacinths. Left of that just out of shot is an old bed with hyacinths still flowering through the grass.

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.

My gooseberries are almost settled into their new home, out of the large pots I had them in and into these new raised beds:

It's kind of cold out today but sunny, so I'll try to finish filling that bed up with compost and soil.
