Hi, This weekend I recorded more bulbs being visited by pollinators. Please select the high def version, or at least the 480 version to see the best detail. I have about eight blue and white hyacinths planted pretty far apart from each other. Despite that, I watched as two or three honeybees worked each plant at a time! The blue varieties seem to be more attractive to them. In the background you may hear my daughter, Zia, she'll be two in June.

I couldn't get any closer, hoverflies are too skittish and take me for a predator, haha.

Crocus buds appeared in November! Now, Dodecatheon is blooming everywhere and just yesterday I saw the first Erythronium hendersonii with an open flower! It was at least a week or two ahead of all the rest, whose buds are just above the soil level. I hope y'all in the East can have spring soon. Go make snow angels! -Travis Owen Rogue River, OR
