Nectarine.

Recent blooms in our yard:

January and February have been a bit warm, so things are blooming early. This is a dwarf nectarine that we planted in the front yard in 1990. It always bears profusely in February or March, and is loaded with fruit by June.

Of course, the bees love it.

Violets.

Some recent blooms in our yard:

     The previous owner of our house lived here from 1930 until 1988 or so, and the garden still has a few descendants from earlier eras, which we have retained and encourage to grow. Violets are a flower that were more popular a long time ago, and do not seem common in this area anymore. They need a bit more water than occurs naturally here, so we have herded the violets together as ground cover beneath our roses, in areas where we irrigate a little more.
