On this Bloom Day I’ve noticed the Lot truly beginning to wake up from its winter slumber.  With a nice stretch of mid-fifty to sixty degree days, a majority of the perennials have pushed new shoots up through the soil. Here are some of the bloomers on the Lot that lead the way into spring.

There are still crocus popping up in the lawn. This area happens to be more shady than others so these little ones are running behind the pack.

The same applies to these snowdrop, while the snowdrops I photographed for last month’s Bloom Day have already faded.

Sharing a bed with one huge privet is this little primrose. The edges of the new leaves and petals have been a bit frostbitten by our still cool nights.

Here is the lenten rose, still not quite opened yet. It’s such an elegant plant and one of my favorites on the Lot!

And finally, putting on a show during April Bloom Day for the first time in two seasons, are the frilly daffodils up in the south bed.
