| March 20, 2008! The first day of spring in my Oklahoma Zone 7 gardens! Yippee! Enjoy the fragrant flower photos! Today's pictures include assorted Dutch Hyacinths, Purple Remembrance Crocus, and a couple of Daffodil Narcissus Jonquils. |
| City of Haarlem, another Dutch Daffodil gone bad (back to the wild type). This pale shade is as good as yellow gets for hyacinths. 3-20-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| The first purple Grape Hyacinth of the season. These bulbs do fairly well in that they return every spring. They just don't spread here in Zone 7 like they did for me in colder climates. 3-20-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| This Delft Blue is the first Dutch hyacinth of the season! 3-20-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| Yellow Fortissimo Daffodils, another vigorous variety with an orange cup. 3-20-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| Remembrance Crocus. The voles and gophers have eaten most of the ones I planted, but the few that have survived are quite large and lovely. 3-20-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |

| This Delft Blue Dutch Hyacinth appears to be resistant to the rabbits, gophers, pack rats, moles, meadow mice, and voles I have in my garden. 3-20-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
