Our plants develop rapidly because we now have many hours of sunlight. The sun rose at 6:03 this morning ans sets at 9:00 PM for a total of 14 hours and 57 minutes of sunlight. The 20 C (69 F) temperature helps too.

FIRST BLOOMS
Just so you know that I'm still not sitting in a snow bank or sleeping in my snow house, here are the first blooms I've found.

Spring must be very welcome there when it comes.
ReplyDeleteBecause of the long days we have plants develop very rapidly.
DeleteSo glad you've seen your first blooms! Plants really do grow rapidly in areas where there is snow. I'm always amazed at how quickly they grow. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's the light...the long days.
Delete6:02 and 8:34 for us so we are not far behind you but no flowers here yet. Glad you are not stuck in a snowbank:)
ReplyDeleteI could still find a snow bank deep in the woods.
DeleteSpring was very late in Europe too which delayed the tulip blooming for us. What are those blue flowers? I should know, but I've forgotten.
ReplyDeleteBlue bells. They are very early.
DeleteAnd so pretty too!
Deletewow! such long hours of daylight!
ReplyDeleteSydney sunrise today was 6.03 and sunset at 5.32
Your flowers are very pretty. Are they crocuses?
It's interesting that you are going into fall and much shorter days. My flowers are bluebells.
DeleteThat's interesting. Our sunset today is the same time as yours (2100 hrs) but our sunrise was 0529 hrs.
ReplyDeleteSo you have a longer day. I must look up again to see how far north you are.
DeleteAt last some colour in nature!
ReplyDeleteit will come fast now with the long days. Leaves are ready to pop out of the buds.
DeleteThanks for letting me know that spring has come to Hiawatha House, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe get some very long days now. I love the long days. I can ride bike at 10:00 PM.
DeleteWe have those little flowers pop up in late April and early May as well. They're a pretty sight to see.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are very early.
DeleteNice to have some flowers for a change, isn't it? Is that blue-eyed grass? I planted some of that last year and it hasn't come up again. I think our clayey soil killed it. :(
ReplyDeleteThese are blue bells. We do have blue eyed grass in the wild.
DeleteWe have a few of those bulbs, too, and they just sprang up here as well. I like them because the deer leave them alone! Glad you're getting some milder weather there.
ReplyDeleteMine are at the side of the house and so far I've never had deer in the area.
DeleteWe have signs of life around here, too! I'm so happy about that.
ReplyDelete...and leaves are just about ready to pop out too.
DeleteEnjoy your spring and summer Red. New growth lifts the human spirit.
ReplyDeleteGlad that your spring is on the way. Our lasted about 2 days...seems weather is now 90F today!!
ReplyDeleteYay, flowers! It's about time.
ReplyDeleteThe colour has returned. Enjoy the weather.
ReplyDeleteIts about time! The flowering trees are in full bloom here
