It's alive!

The phlox I planted last year hasn't been looking so great. While everyone else's in the neighborhood seems to be at or near full bloom, ours was still looking winter-dull. Until this weekend, when I noticed that most of them have buds that are just one nice day from opening. Can't wait to see how they do!

We also realized that grape hyacinths grow the flower, then the stem. I don't know why I never noticed before that the little blue clumps form up first, then the stem comes up underneath to raise the clump out of the green blades.
