March flowers have been glorious this year

I have groups of March flowers, crocus, hyacinths, squill, surprise lilies, irises and narcissus scattered around the yard and in the edge of the woods. Each grouping has its own story, as the bulbs were either gifts or transplants. Their blooms brighten the yard from early spring to early fall. - JOYCE M. COOMER

March flowers have been glorious this year. From grader ditches to yards to pastures, they have brightened my drive to work on several gloomy mornings. They are nearly at the end of their blooming for this spring. but each morning this week I have seen a few new blooms, sometimes just one by itself, sometimes a clump of a dozen or so blooms.



My double March flowers finally bloomed this past weekend; they had budded for blooms two or three weeks before the other March flowers even started yet were the last to bloom in my yard.

As the March flowers are fading, hyacinths and squill are blooming in my yard. Tulips are up but I doubt mine will bloom this year as I transplanted them late in the spring last year, and they look kinda puny. The forsythia is sorta blooming as it usually does. (Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get forsythia to bloom all over instead of in scattered spots?)

The large swatch of March flowers in the accompanying photo is at the edge of my yard about two weeks ago. These were transplanted from the Ben Burbridge farm (now owned by Amon Spoon) several years ago, and while the March flowers bloom nicely each year, the narcissus from there bloom sporadically.

March flowers and other blooms throughout the year are blessings from God to brighten our days.
