In my recent, similar post, I was trying to look up climate records for SF, because I was SURE that last year the Prunus started blooming the first week of February, not mid-January. However, checking out my post from last year, I thought the exact same thing. So yeah, I'm right there with you on feeling lucky about keeping a written record!phyte club katiehttp://phyteclub.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-37575915134766384362012-01-17T12:22:17.368-08:002012-01-17T12:22:17.368-08:00I just had a flash of the spring cherry blossoms i...I just had a flash of the spring cherry blossoms in Japan....so beautiful. There was this one place I went in the mountains where there were so many cherry blossoms and many of them were coming off the trees. The air was snowing with blossoms, with light shining through them.

I'll try to keep my eyes out for them. Looks like they've been reported in the area of Fremont Peak, which we occasionally visit in the Spring.<br /><br />Mr. T, I'm waiting for pictures of your reported polar bears ;) With your mild winter as well, I figured you'd see something blooming out in January in your neck of the woods.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-91259431378032444202012-01-16T06:36:52.877-08:002012-01-16T06:36:52.877-08:00I don't believe I've seen anything bloomin...I don't believe I've seen anything blooming outside here in January.
