I reviewed my temp stats from January, and there were 9 nights when the temperature was in the teens, 6 nights when it was in the 20s, and 2 nights when it was 30F or 31F. Now, with the daytime temperature having warmed up to 51F yesterday, and more birds starting to sing in the morning, and my crocuses starting to bloom and hyacinth and tulip shoots starting to appear, I'm getting more and more eager for spring to arrive. I'll post a shot of my crocuses soon, but I've been wanting to share this cactus bud with you for a while, so here it is. Sadly, the bud shriveled and never bloomed. Perhaps it will do better this year.
