my hyacinth is looking lovely this year and actually split into two. I didn't know it could do that.

I'm worried about my lavender but I do see a tiny bit of new growth on it. currently it looks dormant still, and I'm concerned it died. wasn't sure if I should remove the pine needles around it or keep them there, the rain I don't think is helping but we're getting more sunny days.

tulips are starting to open up too! my mom planted a ton of them last year, and I'm looking forward to the rose bush we planted last year growing more. she also bought blueberry plants, two of them, two different variants. Costco apparently had them, hahaha.

hoping to get more hyacinths I think. they're really pretty, even though I don't think they last for super long? my mom wants a flower hanging basket for mother's day, mentioned that she wanted one that might attract hummingbirds, but I don't think ones of those exists?

I'm discovering hyacinth (and gardening for that matter) for the first time this year! Yours has an incredible color! I'm on mobile using the Jerboa app so I'm not sure if the pic i added uploaded. We'll see! Also our PJM Rhodie is in bloom.

We're still trying to figure out what kind of fruit trees we have in the backyard but I'm assuming plum, and maybe apple or pear.

Fuschia attracts hummingbirds and looks lovely in a hanging basket.
