\nCarol at May Dreams Gardens<\/a> invites us to tell her what’s blooming in our gardens on the 15th of each month.\n<\/p>\n

March 2010<\/h3>\n

\nThe redbuds are Austin’s harbinger of spring but in 2010 it seemed they would never bloom. More than three weeks later than normal, on March 6th, I started seeing redbuds around town. After that, Spring cut loose. It was as if the other flowers had to wait for the diva to take center stage before making an entrance. Tazetta daffodils that are usually in flower in January bloomed alongside jonquils and large-flowering daffodils. The larkspur, which typically blooms a month after the bluebonnets, began blooming almost a week before.\n<\/p>\n

\nDespite the devastations of record drought and freezes, the garden springs back.\n<\/p>\n

\nTwo stems of ‘Ice Follies’ daffodils came back after a couple of years of not blooming. I thought I’d lost them for good. I had divided them over the year and at one time had 8 groups. \n<\/p>\n

Complete List for March 15, 2010<\/h4>\n
