So here's some blooms from around the yard...guess you could call it a "Wednesday bloom day" contribution....these little tulips are nice, and I like the way the petals flare back after awhile.
Pasque flower....just got this locally last year, and I'm so glad it came back! (I've killed this twice before).
Trillium...I love the way they colonize...I can almost divide and relocate some, but I'll research it first to see when and how, so I don't have big losses.
Here we have the extent of my fabulous forsythia blooms....um....yea....can you say "bogus bush relocation program"?! This variety did come from my mom in zone 5, so I'm sure if I bought something more cold hardy the I'd get better results...
...and finally, my Bloodroot came back! Yay! Got this from my mom last year as it was dying back, so I was worried, but no need! Hardy wildflowers are the bomb!

In IL we also had the problem of winterkilled buds on the Forsythia, although the plants themselves lived. The line seemed to be about -14ยบ F on the forsythias I got from my dad.
That's a nice assortment of wildflowers, Lisa!

I hope you feel better soon--those fantastic flowers should help!
I need to prioritize Trillium on my list of things to try.
Annie-thanks, I sure like my wildflowers! I'm trying to grow as many as possible, especially the more rare/endangered ones. I found a forsythia in a catalog somewhere that was hardy to zone 3-maybe THAT one would bloom for me.
Chuck-I'm not sure if trillium need a cold/freeze period, but if you can grow them, it's easy to get hooked! Thanks for the get well sentiment...I'm here again today but feeling even worse :(
We have a variety of native Trillium in CA, so whatever they need, we've got it.
By now, I hope you're feeling better!
