Spring has Sprung
Spring is definitely here! The willows are in bloom, the lilac buds are swelling and the earliest spring bulbs are in full bloom. Right now Red Butte Garden is enjoying the first flowers to bloom, the Snowdrops (Galanthus). The rest of the garden isn't far behind and in many of the garden beds you can already see daffodil foliage. They will soon be followed by bunches of miniature Irises (Iris reticulata) in blues and purples, blue Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa), golden Winter Aconite (Eranthis) and blue Squill (Scilla). These little blooms certainly brighten up the early spring garden. The bees love them too! With cool spring weather, these lovely flowers will last for weeks, and a spring snow doesn't bother them a bit. Come out this weekend to see the earliest buds and blooms on the upper Floral Walk and in the Rose Garden.
