Now that the large amount of snow has almost melted away, I can begin to start to think of the spring season ahead.  It could be an interesting start, as many plants sustained somewhat of a rough west coast winter this year so far.  I have began to notice the buds on the Magnolia trees and am anxious for the blooms to begin.  You can check out a website on the spring flowers to come at http://home-and-garden.webshots.com
