I checked most of my trees last Sunday and didn’t see many signs of Spring. Then, 4 days later, I checked again. This was what I found on Thursday!
These are fast swelling flower buds on a Fuji Cherry.

These are Trident Maple buds, 3 different trees.



I even saw a cloud of midges outside our lounge window! February? What’s going on!!
Forgive my ignorance, but I was under the impression that spring starts there in early February. Apparently I’m wrong?
Great pics, either way. 🙂

Transplanted my first tree for the season today, a japanese maple that got some more space for root growth. Also, yesterday I sifted soil for the coming repottings, so spring is certainly around the corner…
