Here in the People's Republic, I have crocuses blooming (a little behind some other local microclimates - our property is its own nanoclimate, it seems) with tulips on the way. Somehow it's not enough, though. I'm mulling over planting some narcissus in the fall, and more daffodils to join the little clump that mysteriously appeared in front of the house last spring.
Looking forward to the lilacs.... -- "Strive to change the world in such a way that there's no further need to be a dissident." Lawrence Ferlinghetti
