OGT DAILY - Day Seventy Four SPRING FLOWERS

Okay so even with this unseasonably early spring and warm winter some things have remained predictable.   While the tulips came up too early along with the daffodils and got nipped by the March blizzard, the hellabour plants on the hill behind my house have waited until Easter to make their full appearance.  These are winter blooming plants.  Some bloom at Christmas, but my plants have maintained their schedule despite any fluctuations in temperature, rain or humidity.   While winter seems to be arriving later and lasting perhaps a month and a half now; while the Trump administration lives in another fairytale land where CO2 and man are not a source of changing climate conditions, my hellabour plants appear to have their own internal clock.   This is mildly reassuring as I watch the garden waking up from its brief winter sleep.

In addition my neighbor's lawn is now spread with scylla and snowdrops.  These are exactly on time as well.
