Judging by the number of sneezes around here, it is now fully spring: oak and molds levels are soaring, much to our allergic dismay. But it has good sides, too. This morning on my walk I got to go by a stand of incredibly sweet-smelling acacias. They only seem to bloom for about two weeks around here, so I try to be around them as much as I can. (There's another good cluster of them by Trudy's on 30th.)
I spent some time yesterday cleaning up my flower beds and planting some stuff we got on the weekend (a delphinium, an icelandic poppy, and a blue hibiscus). The exotic little corms that I put in last fall are all starting to bloom, but unfortunately I can't remember what they're called. I posted this pic of one of them on flickr, but got no responses:

Anyone recognize it? Most of them are orangish-red.

No clue what's it called. But - isn't it great that spring has sprung? We had 76 degrees today here, VERY nice. However, tonight it is severe thunderstorms and tomorrow back to mid-forties.
As long as the snow is over... .
