So glad you asked. I agree everything seems to be bursting into full bloom at once! It's been so warm, and I'm up east of Minneapolis/St Paul in Western Wisconsin.

I have a lot of the spring bloomers in full bloom, Crocus are long done, but Daffodils are in full bloom. I'll share some pictures.

Here are my Daffodils in my main garden, you can also see Hyaciths there blooming, Tuilps are not yet blooming, but you can see big buds!

here is a pictures showing the Barberrys, They already have fairly large leaves!

Here is our Apricot tree flowers which is in full bloom now as well, The bees, and flying bugs love these.

I'm really surprised at what's blooming right now. Seems we're about 2 weeks ahead of last year. Besides the daffs, tulips, and scilla, there are pulmonaria, vinca, woodland poppies, hellebores, violets all blooming, and my bleeding hearts started yesterday. Buds on sweet woodruff, a few irises, allium, and lily of the valley.

What's still blooming in your yard?

Claire that's very pretty tree. I always wanted a sorbus (mtn ash) but would need the columnar upright one in my small yard. Not much blooming in my yard, but I did see a few pansy's still blooming and some snapdragons. I think the honey suckle vine might have the odd bloom as well. Actually, as more trees/shrubs lose their leaves, I am inpressed with things that hold onto their leaves such as clematis. Because it's been a longer than usual fall, things like my apple tree have turned a brillant yellow leaves as well (some years the green leaves freeze on the tree if winter hits early.)

annuals: zinnia california poppy nasturtium cosmos cleome lobelia blue salvia coleus (but this is the only time I allow them to do so) perennials: asters (and more asters) salvia monkshood mums salvia (cant remember its name but it is still blooming) japanese anenome "Bells of Scotland" campanula...and I just found a volunteer Phlox David....I dead headed in August and got some lateral blooms roses: a final Mr Lincoln Graham Thomas finished the other day :( Despite the sad emoticon it is really all bonus time now. They can flop, not bloom as well as capable of doing, and suffer from fungal disease but I love them all right now. Many of their neighbors are essentially in bed.

My dianthus and gerberas bloom year-round, but they especially like this time of year. My mouse ear coreopsis is blooming, and my azalea that I planted last fall has suddenly exploded. Although it's already peaked, for a while there my columbine looked like it had yellow fireworks bursting all over it. I was especially pleased with that, because I thought I had lost it after foolishly planting it in the dead of summer. I was so pleased, in fact, that I went out and bought two more this spring. I also have a volunteer that sprouted in the middle of my yard last summer that was so pretty I moved it into a bed. It's full of purple blooms right now - I'm pretty sure it's some type of petunia. Sadly, once again, my gardenia isn't blooming, and doesn't even have buds - but I may have found out why. I bought a new desk this weekend, and in cleaning out the old one, I found the tag for it, and saw that it advises pruning off the previous summer's new growth in winter - which I've never done. I'm going to assume that encourages blooming, and will make a point of doing it this year. I think that's all of the existing perennials that are blooming - right now my yard is crazy with color but the rest are either annuals or are newly planted this spring.

What in your yard is blooming/fruiting due to Crazy Warm Weather?

All of my camellias have bloomed early. I have a white powderpuff that often doesn't bloom because the flowers come out in late January and are usually hit with a frost or freeze. It is now in full bloom and has been for a week or so. My purple firespikes are now starting to bloom; this is about a month or two early for them. My Cape Honeysuckle usually has a few blooms now if it there hasn't been a freeze. It has been in full bloom for about six weeks now. Also, my porterweeds are still flowering. This is very late for them. They decline quickly in cool weather and shut down entirely with a freeze. Now they are still in full bloom mode. Very unusual weather, but it is going to change soon.

Thanks for sharing your pictures hostalover360 - those are so nice to see. love your garden
I did see colors other than green in my yard as I walked to the car this morning. Really wanted to go investigate, but didn't have time. Saw some orange. must be tulips by the fence. That is where my poppies grow, but it can't be them yet.
Going to need to go up in the garden and look at the asparagus tonight also.

Everything here is about 2 weeks ahead of last year as well. Violets and allium are up but not yet blooming. The serviceberry tree is about to bloom and so are my tulips. Yay Spring!

The tulips are about done. the virginia blue bells are looking good and there are buds on the lilacs. Still gotta check the asparagus. I see people picking along the road now. But mine is always later than the wild stuff.

All the lilacs are in bloom. I have white, double white, pink, blue, light purple, double light purple, dark purple and a double that has light purple and white flowers. It smells great at my house.

Wow! You should post a photo of your lilacs...or a scratch-n-sniff sticker! :) I just have one lilac shrub planted so far at our new house. It's a white lilac with buds on it, but no blooms yet.

Even after last nights frost I have so much more blooming than I have ever had this early.

In the sun, crocuses, flowering peach and crabapple have come and gone daffodils, lilacs and vinca minor are in full swing. In the shade garden, the forget-me-nots, the lillies of the valley, the hellebores the virginia bluebells, the bleeding heart, and the sweet woodruff are all beautiful. Columbine, clematis and primrose japonica all are about ready! I think the frost took my Lillies out this year, but other than that its a beautiful spring!

I wish I would have taken pictures!! We've had 3 nights of frost and now a nasty cold rain with high wind. I didn't look at anything but the ground in front of my feet going to the car this morning. I just couldn't look around.
