Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - April 15, 2012

Well, here we are again - the 15th of every month is Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!! A great
day to share what's blooming in my garden with fellow bloggers (and other interested folks!).
This meme is created by Carol at May's Garden Dreams http://www.maydreamsgardens.com/
I am happy to report that there's MUCH more to see than last month but that's because
the crazy heat wave we had in March pushed everything ahead at least a month.
Oh well - let's just enjoy.
Here's what's blooming in my garden today:

Grape muscari

'Jetfire' daffodils

(on its last legs but still blooming) Forsythia

Scilla

Beautiful red Apeldoorn Darwin tulip…but looked what happened next...

Rotten little scoundrel squirrel bit the head off !!!
