Here in the NY Catskills spring is bustin' out all over. Last week an early
heat wave, in the 80s, gave spring here a two week headstart. This
morning the temperature was a balmy 33ºF.

Bleeding hearts awaiting the first hummers:

My mother would envy you those bleeding hearts. Every year, the spring
weather in Colorado thwarts her and takes out her bleeding hearts. (Fond
memories of them in springtimes back east keep her trying.)

Here in Michigan, I'm only growing the little Dicentra that last a long time;
"Luxurient" and a white one whose variety name escapes me right now.

The serviceberry popped into bloom this weekend, and now several days
of rain has washed most of the petals off. It was a nice moment, but
fleeting. I hope it was able to set fruit. I love to watch the cedar waxwings
feeding on the berries.
