. . two daffodils are blooming. They're buried among overgrown honeysuckle and vinca, so it's hard to tell just what they are, but they are not any of the little early blooming types (February Gold, Tet a Tet, on any of the cyclamineus types*). We have regular daffodils blooming in mid-February, less than one week after sub-zero temperatures! This means their spot, along the south side of the brick garage, might actually be a great place to grow a fig. The crocus planted in the main** flower bed on the north side of the house aren't even visibly up.
*It seems that the kind people of the Scottish Heritage, USA and the National Junior Horticulture Society sent me to Scotland for a year to be tested on 40 cultivars of Narcissus over a few weeks so that I could return home and name five sixteen years later.

For my future plant tax teaching self, Erodium cicutarium and some little lamium also started blooming at the end of this unseasonably warm week. The silver maple on campus is blooming.
We have snowdrops, and catkins on the trees! I haven't seen much else yet.
