The year without a Spring ...

Here in Texas, I believe this is the year without a Spring.

The best time usually to view wildflowers is March to April.  I have not seen any wildflowers except I did see some white rain flowers and I do have verbena on my drive way.

The trees are just now budding and leafing out.

Where are the Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrushes and the Blanket flowers?

Are you having Spring where you live?

Are you seeing wildflowers?

We have had an unusually great spring .   Lots of rain.   Weather is warming. Lots of flowers. Many Dandelions …. Last year we had none.

Here in central France we're having a fantastic spring!
Last year was one long wet misery. Feels like it's going to be payed back, with interest (I hope. Optimist).

Are you in drought? Looks like over half of Texas is very dry.

SoCal zone 10b. We have a lovely spring now, but I am sure others will feel it like summer. Daytime temperatures are around 80F, except for the rainy days. The cold season lasted longer than usually, but it means that we are getting plums this year. I see plum BBQ sauce in my future.
We don’t get spring flowers though, mostly because I am not very good at growing them. This is also harvest season, so we are very busy right now.

It is colder than usual overall this spring, but I passed by some blooming yellow trout lilies. They and the claytonias have been doing so for about two weeks. Coltsfoot, chickweed—crocuses were beautiful!—and the turnips and turnip/kale hybrids would be soon trying to flower but I’m eating them first, for the most part. The spring is very beautiful and this is the time of year I call the last days to harvest parsnips. They get quite dry starting around now. Lots of green.

In my UK garden, it's a beautiful spring with masses of blossom on the cherry and apple trees. But spring has been late arriving in my Bulgarian garden. The daffodils and tulips are pretty, but there's been next to no blossom on the fruits trees so far. The hard winter killed most of the flower buds.

Spring was late to get here, finally the majority of snow had melted and it was looking nice, until yesterday when it snowed 2 feet. Luckily it doesn't seem to be long lasting and already on its way out.

I’m in Fayette County Texas and Spring zip by. I had some Indian Paint in my south pasture buf tgat was about it. They were gone in a couple of weeks. Mid April and my pastures and garden look like August. Thankfully we got a good rain. Last years’ Spring went on forever, so I got a big spoiled.

It's been an odd spring here in mid-Michigan, zone 6a.  But this is the first year my apricot tree, which blooms early, did not lose its blossoms to frost.  The forecast over the next week shows lows above freezing, and the tree is self-fertile so even though minimal pollinators are out and about, I am very hopeful for some apricots this summer!  

My early spring bulbs have bloomed, and others have leaves up, but I have not seen wild violets yet, nor dandelions or any other spring wildflowers, only flowers on shrubs like forsythia and rhododendrons.  My other fruit trees have not bloomed yet either.  Dogwoods are starting to bloom, redbuds not yet.  I'm really hoping to harvest some wild violets and dandelions this spring, so I'm watching my yard closely...

Here (in the East of the Netherlands) it is really Spring now. But this Spring is a little 'bizarre'. It started much too warm and sunny. Many people were happy to have this Summer-like weather, but the plants didn't like it. Some trees were late to get green leaves again. But now we had some days with rain again, everything is turning green.
Here's a photo of typical Spring flowers growing in my region. Their Dutch name is Bosanemonen (Wood Anemones) and its official botanical name is Anemone nemorosa. They grow in woods and have flowers before the trees get leaves.

I’m in western North Carolina. We have had a very warm and dry spring so far. Daffodils all up around same time as last year, but gone sooner. We also saw a couple lightning bugs (fireflies) the last few nights which is WAY early for us. That doesn’t typically start until late May. Pear and apple trees have already blossomed and are starting to leaf out. Blueberry bushes are full of buds. Usually our last frost is around mid-May, so I have waited to plant. However, I’m starting to think we won’t be seeing another frost and might be behind if I don’t get started.
