a snapdragon plant surviving from last year (the only one I've spotted thus far) and it has just declared itself as a crimson one.

snapdragons and crimson is a lovely colour.

Flagon says, roar! I can snap! Does that make me a Snapdragon as well as a Welsh Dragon?

it might be more like being a snapping turtle.

discovered a pot full of snap babies - just sprouted - which have to be the offspring of the previous occupants of that pot. But nothing but big brutish weeds came up in the neighbouring pot.

We have very healthy weeds here right now...

our roses are in full bloom!

Oh...

OK...

Sad, just weeds here so far...

also, ripe strwberries from the greenhouse.

I don't think we even have strawberry blossoms.

we've had the earliest Spring I can remember, locally.

Oh, I feel we had a good start... Then it went, "oops did that wrong," and overcorrected...

that's bad news for plantlife, whenthat happens.

Arbieroo : It hasn't gotten dangerously cold, just cold enough that they are asking, "what are we doing out without our coats..."

they'll probably recover, given time, then.

Yeah, and who knows, it could go the other way and be too hot...

JigmeDatse : well, that's possible, too!

It was way too hot last year.
