I think all of them have around here, and I am sorry to have missed them.<br /><br />flwrjne - also a good guess, as I've seen Mohawks and Leatherleaves in bud and early bloom, and the Mohawk smells wonderful. But no...<br /><br />Donatella sin fiori :-) Winter jasmine? Ees too late hereabouts :-( Also missed them. But maybe farther south, Confederate jasmine...<br /><br />Paul - first correct guess and the hollyhocks are on their way. They may revert from black, I hope not. They have been black two years straight. I feel a little bit silly mailing you seeds since making plants is your raison d'etre, but thank you for receiving them :-)I may have talked myself into planting a daphne on my terrace.<br /><br />CFLA - I think a lawsuit is bromming your way. You have to see my mother's kitchen fly strips to know get an idea of damages for which you will be sued.<br /><br />Frank, spring barf? :-) Actually, I'm warming to it. I saw some nice uns on the Promenade yesterday evening in the rain. <br /><br />webb - you were in the hat, you were! Good guess! And what lovely shrubs...they have a bad reputation when it comes to dropping dead. Apparently D. odora Aureomarginata is more resilient.<br /><br />Rachel - Congratulations! Millicent is a fine hunter gatherer...The Cape Town corgis would be proud of her. Excellent fly snappers and milk stealers. Fly doily is on its way.<br /><br />Mountain Thyme - noooo, but it could have been. Pictures coming up.<br /><br />Dinahmow - I know fewer daphnes - subtle things - than I do forsythia - screamers - which are everywhere. They are both pretty early.<br /><br />Hi blissfulsally - a little late for crocus and a teensy bit early for cherry, though I am seeing some early ones open. How about you send us some pics of Mexican flowers?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-15341876351941483352010-03-29T20:42:06.881-04:002010-03-29T20:42:06.881-04:00I'm guessing Crocus or Cherry Blossoms.

You know I can't grow any of them here!dinahmowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052642938090553088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-68063819174762246502010-03-29T18:31:13.549-04:002010-03-29T18:31:13.549-04:00I definitely think it is forsythia because my sist...I definitely think it is forsythia because my sister who lives on the Ohio river in a boat says the forsythia is blooming on the banks of the river....even with all the bad weather.<br /><br />Is that it?
