Plants and Blooms of the 2012 season

[Tindomul]

These Edgworthia chrysantha's were in bloom last year at the same time.
And the Mahonia japonicas and Camelia japonica too.

Well, I went around today to see what Azaleas and other Rhododendrons were in bloom. I don't have the ID's of any of them except for the Pieris japonica which is not a Rhodie but related. Sorry.

Anyone have any ideas on the ID's of these flowers? Found them at the botanical gardens, but no tags anywhere.

Great pictures everyone! I'm always a little sad when I see these because I'm in college and my garden at my parents' house (oh yes, it's definitely MY garden ) is blooming without me. There are lots of bulbs and flowering trees bursting into bloom in the last week because we finally got some warm temperatures, but it's just not the same as the garden you nurtured yourself.

Well, there's my little moment of self-pity.

Tindo, all I can tell for that first flower is that it's likely in the Mustard family, given the appearance and number of the petals. Probably an East Coast native, so I wouldn't know it. The second one looks to me like Fritillaria persica.

All those nice flowers Tindo! Still not much blooing here, other than fruit trees. We had 2 weeks of spring in march, then it disappeared. Still wearing winter coats...
As for the IDless plant, I see it everywhere around here. I have the name on the tip of my tongue...
