What's blooming

Just a quick note to track what's currently blooming.

Quince-
The quince next to our house has been full of hot pink flowers for about a week.

Cherry trees-
The cherry trees are big pink clouds right now. They started maybe a week ago & are now about mid-bloom. The air here is often filled with their sweet scent, but some of them are actually kind of funky smelling. Lots of trees have not begun to bloom yet; so there will be plenty to come. The cherry in our yard has buds but nothing more.

Jasmine?-
There's an overygrown vine near my house (corner of Grant & 37th) that is full of white flowers & has an intoxicating sweet smell. It fills the street, and I even smell it racing past on my bike.

Camelias-
The giant camelia in our yard is half full of pink flowers. It's been blooming for about two weeks, and will probably continue for a while since only the back side has started. The whole front is still to come.

Daffodils-
Everybody's are in full bloom right now.

Crocus-
Ditto. Though they are about to die. They first bloomed about two weeks ago.
