The first things to bloom are crocus and chionodoxa. Just as the crocus fades (but while the chionodoxa is still out) the daffodils, grape hyacinth, magnolia, and forsythia start to bloom.

And that’s as far as we’ve gotten so far this year.

In future gardens, do drifts of white-pale blue-dark blue grape hyacinth, and drifts of white-pale pink-pale blue ones.
