Good morning

We finally got the warm temperatures needed to make some of the plants and trees wake up. The bloodroot just peaked over the weekend. It flowers profusely for about 3 days and then the petals fall and the pretty foliage appears. Sadly, it looks like we lost about a quarter of our patch with last year's drought.

I planted lots of new bulbs last fall (thanks to Melissa for introducing me to Brent & Becky). The daffodils just started blooming in the last couple days. Here is a cute variety that has several smaller flowers on each stem.

Last spring we planted our first apricot tree. Looks like it's going to flower this year. Since it's so young if it does fruit, we'll pull off all but one or two apricots, but it's encouraging to know that it seems to be happy.
