Related: About this forumWe are a month ahead with respect to what's blooming - this is crazy!
We have a saucer magnolia that is just about fully open - our redbud has distinctly coloring buds. Forsythia is blooming. All of our daffodils are fully open. Lilacs will be open very soon. Yesterday we took a hike at the WNC arboretum - there is dogtooth violet foliage, and the Oconee Bells are blooming. This is our 4th year here - typically all of the above is happening at the very end of March. Long term forecast indicates possibility of mid 20s for several nights in mid March, which will freeze and brown most of those things in bloom.
The earth is speaking to us - it is NOT happy.
If anyone wants to see some of the pics of what we have going on, I am on Instagram - @nctomatoman

(60,567 posts)you may be OK. we have issues using tulips as a perennial here - daffodils spread/naturalize well, but tulips seem to need to be dug and replanted, or replaced. We had best luck with tulips when we lived further north (PA or new england)
