Straight out of the west, barometer is low and really falling fast. It looks like the daffodils have only come up an inch or two. Sometimes we have blossoms this time of year.

(139,203 posts)3. I'll watch for daffodils too, beginnings are up, but cold and more snow due later this week, so may be slow for blossoms
Will surely watch for CROCUS!!!

(139,203 posts)5. I was SO happy to discover, after I found this place (I rent a small house in southern MD,) that my southern yard
contains a blanket of crocii!! It's 4-5-6 yards of lovely light purple crocii! and I suppose I could make a fortune in SAFFRON!
