It still feels wintery in these early days of March. Daytime temperatures may go up into the mid-fifties or even low sixties some days, but nighttime temperatures are cold. And other days can stay much chillier, not to mention all the rain.

Still, with all that, we actually have a number of plants that are currently blooming. My garden is blessed with an abundance of daffodils, camellias, and hellebores, all putting on a show right now.

I treasure these plants for the bright displays they create at times when most of the garden is bare and bleak.
