Let's see, when did this start happening last year? Ah: March 18. So salmonberry is two weeks ahead. Red-flowering currant is earlier than that. I haven't noticed any maple bud action. I'll have to check.
Spotted on a jaunt around Discovery Park: Salmonberry starting to bloom. An Anna's Hummingbird chattered at me from a nearby twig as I took this picture. Also seen: big leaf maple buds bursting.
