SO jealous here in Oregon! The garden centers haven't even set out stock, aside from some vege starts. Good news on 2 fronts: many of those are organic and non-GMO, and current weather forecast says last night was our last below freezing!!

I still have a chance of frost 2 nights this weekend, another reason that the nectarine tree is having it's last season, on most winters we don't get the chilling requirement, we have late freezes, and I live across the street from a park that is a squirrel haven, 5 nectarines in 20 years.
Couldn't see the blooms on the tree , in the photo .

None had opened yet when I took the picture this morning, but about 2 dozen had opened by 4:15 this afternoon. By tomorrow about 25-50% should be open, then almost all by day 3 if the wether holds and no driving rains.
I bet the aroma is delightful!

The hyacinths were in my kitchen, but like when I brought magnolia blooms in, they tore my nose up, so now they are on the porch, but yes very fragrant.
