The plants are waking from their slumber and buds are all over the place. It is a truly magical time to see flower buds emerge and burst open. I’ve collected a few clips throughout April of the plants breaking dormancy and compiled into the video below. The shift from winter sleep to the deluge of color now begins.

The first bloom of the season was on 23 Apr. This honor goes to a flava with some interesting flower filament structure thingy going on under the hood.

Buds ’bout to go off everywhere. A few more photos below. (Click on images to enlarge.) A very promising season lies ahead!
