The Survivors





Another big snow storm blew in Sunday night. Melted off pretty fast Monday and today, but lots of the early-blooming flowers have been beaten down. An exception, as usual, the rugged dandelions. Everywhere I looked there seemed to be more blooming than before the storm. Could they actually be blooming under the snow? There were lots of shooting star buds, and a few flowers, but many basal leaves of ones that are sure to bloom in another week or so. And, the rock cress is blooming in profusion around the Greenville Y. It, too, seems like a very rugged plant.
