March 28, 2012 -- what's blooming

This arrangement will function as a nature journal, reminding me what was blooming all at the same time on March 28, 2012: lilac, wisteria, wild mustard, wood poppy, California poppy, iris. Amazing. What a strange spring. And today it's both warm and windy, adding stress to flowers that had been enjoying a bit of cool, normal spring weather for a couple of days. The wood poppy in yesterday's arrangement held up fine in windowsill--although its first flower died and a new bud bloomed taking its place.
