And So It Begins Again …
Spring has sprung on me quite early this year. Take a garden tour with me and see what has decided to come up a month or two early over here.

The morning sun cast a soft light on the gardens here a the Hugger House, and I took a tour to review how everything is doing.
As part of getting to know my new house, I like to walk around the yard at different times in the season to see what is blooming or coming up. This time, I’m exploring the many Rhododendrons current living on this property.
Take a tour of my front yard as I watch the passing of the season through the timing of different bulbs. In this edition, we look at 2 Iris varieties (one nearing the end of the blooming season and one just starting), and a Grape Hyacinth (going to seed).
We stopped by the 5th Street Market in Eugene the other day, where a lot of the bulbs are in bloom. The diversity of the flower shapes and colors is just fantastic. This is definitely a spring treat! Enjoy the pictures, and I am sorry about the quality—I forgot my camera and had to use my Sidekick to take the pictures.
