I look forward all winter long for the yard to come to life in the spring.
So the early spring bloomers always mark the end of winter.
Here are some pictures of what I found touring around my yard yesterday.

#1 Dirca palustris. Leafs out early with pendant yellow flowers emerging along with the fresh green leaves.
#2. Prunus mume. This is a light pink double - don't recall the cultivar name.
#3. Cornus officionalis. Same yellow flowers as cornus mas.
