Hi All:

Snow flurries this morning in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Galanthus
have been in flower the last couple of weeks. Iris reticulata and
histroides cultivars are looking nice as well as Eranthis hyemalis.
Bulbocodium vernum is showing color. Most of the Crocus species and
cultivars are up as well and when the sun comes out (rarely the last month
or so) they put on a show. Noticed the first of the Narcissus in flower
but too blustery and cold to actually go out and get close enough to
identify it. We are about 2 weeks behind the 'normal' flowering cycle

spring - a marked contrast to last spring when we were 6 weeks ahead of
schedule...
