Willow Bud Break


Willow Bud Break

While reveling in all the daffodils blooming in my garden right now, I noticed a pinkish tinge to trees across the creek. I grabbed the camera and focused in on my huge old willow, and voila! Bud Break had happened!
There are so many plants and flowers breaking out right now that I just hang out and look and have been forgetting to post and document.
We are having freezing mornings and warm into the 70s afternoons and so plants are very conflicted. None of my grapes have tried to leaf out, but my hydrangea is leafing and my lilac is budding. After last year's late killer frost, I worry a bit, but then again, I had the most delicious grapes!
It is all a crap shoot sometimes, gardening in Lake County.
