Goldenrod has arrived in Center of N.C.
I did a tour of the area around me yesterday and finally found what I was looking for: the sourwood trees are getting ready to open up their blooms. I was afraid the Easter freeze had killed the buds, the way it did for the tulip poplars. I think it has a little but only to a very limited extent.
Estimated first sourwood bloom date for southern NC mountains -- June 25-30
dandelions have been in bloom for about 3 weeks now. forsynthia (goldenrod bush) in bloom (saw one plant) zip 27983, it has been dry and warm up until the past week. we had about 1 " snow night before last ( 1-19-08 ) These plants are confused because of the warm weather. I have been told hostas had started coming up! This is crazy.
