I thought so! Seeing some of them in full bloom already was a surprise though. This was one of my Mother’s favorite wildflowers so they are special to me.

I agree. These are very plentiful too and have a rather long blooming period. At the higher elevations they will be blooming in mid to late summer.

This was indeed early, but in a place where I have known flowers to bloom early. I saw some blossoms but was surprised to see them in such good condition after such a cold night.
