Extremely Early Signs of Spring

  • Post author:

Mild weather has coaxed out some very early buds along with a handful of intrepid creatures.  Welcome back! Thank you, readers, if you can identify these brave plants.

By the United Methodist Church on Bagley and 42nd.

The very rare giant “Purplefly”.

Reddish buds.

Plywoodasaurus Rex.

Actual flowers, yet.  Pink ones, at that.

Helen has lived in Wallingford for 16 years and think it’s the best neighborhood in Seattle, possibly the world. She has worn a track between her house, QFC and the library and spends a lot time poking her nose into things. She is a mother, does volunteer work and is interested in local, green and child-related issues. She has an advanced degree in English literature and thus reads a lot and enjoys the craft of writing. She also works part-time for her husband’s software company (doesn’t everyone have a software company around here?).

    I’ve seen camellias in full flower, cherrie blossoms,sparse but in bloom, and of course hellebores blooming

    Not entirely unusual. Plenty of varieties bloom in “late winter” as opposed to spring. Look for crocus and primroses in 2-3 weeks as well. Certainly welcome!
