Eric,Yeah, can you believe it? I think it has to do with the location: lehigh valley in eastern PA gets balmy air from the atlantic that the mountains to the north cut off. My mother in the north had snow today, too. 🙂 If it’s any help, it was 18 degrees this morning and the flower was still there. That *is* a bit unusual.

Simply beautiful!
I love flowers, especially the first blooms!
Aurora and Pat, thank you both. I still can’t believe it bloomed this early. 🙂
