Be a detective: Spring blossom sleuths wanted!

My magnifying glass can't be everywhere at once, so I need your help.

Temps are expected to reach 50 this week so it follows that early spring bloomers will begin making their appearances very soon.

Report your sightings here by commenting below. For extra credit, grab your camera, shoot the first flower you see and send me the photo. I'll post it here, so be sure to include your name.


SIGHTINGS

March 20: Dorothy Haber of Centerport reports Crocus 'Violet queen' and Galanthus nivalis 'multiplex' have made an appearance in her garden. Here's the evidence:

March 24: Peter from Port Washington writes: "These colorful characters appeared before the March sleet storm. A week beneath a glacier didn't seem to phase them a bit. "

I had a single crocus for a few days, but now it's buried under snow :(

Today the snow finally melted around the spring bulbs. Crocus 'Violet Queen' held up pretty well while under the snow. Nothing thing bothers Galanthus nivalis 'multiplex' the double snowdrop.
