Forsythias blooming in March.......not very common

Post by TimMAz6 » Sun Mar 25, 2012 5:31 pm

Our plants are blooming real early.............I suppose most other gardens are experiencing this too. Here's a few photos of my neighbor's Forsythia in bloom. Typically it blooms much later.

Same here,half blooms,half leaves.

The Mag's are almost done blooming now too as they seem to
have more litter under them then flowers.


My Pampas grass is already over a foot tall and it usually doesn't
get that size/come up until May!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

our temps have really dropped back down to normal so these Forsythia blooms will likely last for a LONG time.....which is GOOD!

Sorry, I had problems looking at Forsythia over the fence: that yucca is a beauty, my eyes are on it all the time.

Same Here ....Magnolias already dropped all their flowers two weeks ago, my irises are now in full bloom, tulips and other easter flowers done now...All summer bulbs two inches up already. We got to 32 Monday night for about an hour but nothing was lost, not suposed to go that low again. I have had my bananas wide open for two weeks now and my palms have also been outside for the past two weeks.

Meant to say in my other comments...that living fence in pic 23 is really cool.
How creative!
