The purple hyacinths have opened beside the storm shelter ramp.
Those are blue! ;-)
My newly replanted irises were above the soil, with their roots showing. I had to put topsoil around them last weekend. It doesn't look like they heaved, so much as the soil settled. But i'm not really sure.
Nice little bluet.
My daffs are all looking dead. They were up to 4" in January, but then we had hard frost. Not sure what will happen to them now that it's warming up.
*cocks head to the side, squints eyes, looks at sky, then back at hyacinth* blue you say...
I wonder if that happened as well here, they all seemed to be way above the soil level. I plant them with the rhizome showing, because of the heat here, but not as much as they were. The irises are growing well however, all of yours are up about a foot now.
There is a large patch of bluet down by the three winged elm trees that I keep trying to capture, but cannot get the size of the patch and the flowers to show in the same picture.
It will be interesting to see if you daffs bloom. I have had that happen before, but it was in Georgia, and they bloomed. It is really late here for daffodils, all the species daffs around the old home places were done blooming in February. I have a few buds still on the storm shelter daffodils, but don't know if all of them will bloom this year.

Just as I'm loving reading your garden chronicles again, Raven.
Welcome back!
