Since we’re in the dead of winter with snow covering everything, it’s a good time to think about flowers. I’ve already started receiving seed catalogs, but I’m not sure how much ordering I’m going to do this year. I seem to be on track with my seed saving, so we’ll see.
I wanted to see when all the perennials we have here start blooming. Mainly to see what needs some help from annuals, but also maybe moving something around or adding something.
Blooms by Month (when the flowers first appear):

First to bloom every year are the snowdrops.
Next is something I’ve been calling Siberian iris but I think that’s wrong.
And the yellow crocus arrives before …
… the purple crocus.
And then come the species tulips.
