I tried to take pictures of my four spring plants poking up from the ground but was only able to get one without my hands shaking to much. @Marlina I found the rusty day lilly, also known as a tiger lily on the sunny side and it is hiding under a pile of leaves like I thought it might be. It looks like there is less growth there but I won't know until I rake the area.
The picture included here is one of the tiger lillies in front of my house where I can see its progress everyday when I leave the house.
One other that is poking up is a daffodil and I can't tell what the other one is yet, maybe a tulip. I'll have more pics when either they bloom or I can take them without my hands shaking.
I think many of you already have blooms in your outside plants, am I right?

Those are the white ones? They are sold in our stores but I've never seen those in yards before. I used to have the yellow day lillie's which spread. I'll have to get more this year.

@MarshaMusselman These are pink. Maybe they are called something different there.

@MarshaMusselman If we do get some snow it will melt fast

@marlina that's the only good thing about getting snow later in the year. We've had almost blizzards before but I would be very surprised if we got one this late this year.
Have some of your nights been colder there still?

It is exciting and even though we know we could still get some snow it'it won't last while the flowers should.

@jaboUK It first cropped up in 2010 when I had to go in something temporarily but even after I was off it the shaking still continued although it was still minor then. Eventually I wondered why it continues and read again the symptoms of a med I've taken on and off for awhile and it's there too. Even when I don't take the meds the shaking stays. The meds keep my mood stable and at least now I can lose weight being in it whereas before I could not.
It's taught me that when the elderly have a shaking condition it could be brought in by meds.

Some meds that I've needed through the years. A side effect is shaking. Lovely, huh?

No blooms here yet but it's nice to see that you have some blooms already.

We still have yellow and brown grass but we've had no rain here yet. That's supposed to start tomorrow I think.

@MarshaMusselman We haven't had rain, but the ground is saturated and muddy.

Lilies spring from the ground sometimes even without leaves.

Everything begins at ground level without any leaves. It's mostly stems first until it gets higher and then the leaves form. This is a summer flower so it will be a while before it blooms.

Holiday cactus blooms all year round there? Must just be because we're so far north that it doesn't for us.

I'm sure you're seeing a lot more than what I've found so far.
