*-2 = two days late; +2 = two days earlier than average.

 Notes:

The last half of January was wet and overcast, with below normal temperatures. The dandelion responds more to soil temperature than air temperature this time of year. Thus Spiraea arguta will bloom at least two weeks later than average this year.
