Crocus — First flowers in our yard to poke up, often between snows.

Dianthus — In May, warning that warm weather is coming soon.

Roses — It's summertime, folks!

Hibiscus — Stand by for summer part 2 (HOT! HUMID!)

Mums — Getting cooler... well, pretty soon.

Fall crocus — Start winding down the garden, we could see frost in a month.
