Thats a pretty first bloom! I hope you get more rain without the nasty storms. The last two seasons here were drought conditions and bud drop early. This spring is the wettest since 1872 when they started keeping records.

Sherry, you know how weather goes. With this storm system training through the past two days, predictions were for 5-8 inches of rain. Saved it all spring for now I suppose!!

Glad to see your season starting! We too have had a couple of days of rain.

Willamette Mist is looking good! I'm glad to see you've finally gotten some rain. We've gotten a couple of inches in the past two days along with tornado warnings on Monday night. Nothing but peonies blooming in my yard.

Debra

Very pretty start, Kate. Thank goodness we , too, were finally blessed with rain and it will continue this evening via the forecasters.

Willamette Mist is very pretty. I'm glad you are getting rain, but those tornado warnings can stay away as can those nasty red bugs.

Nancy

congrats on your first bloom for the season. Very nice bloom.

Julia

What was it again that helped eliminate red bugs the last time? Very nice pic.
