Finally! The first blooms on this pink perfection I planted last year! .....and last night's freeze zapped them.
Another orchid bloomed. Last year these had grown too big, so I started new ones from cuttings. I used to think they would be hard to grow, but they are just in arborist tree chips and grow fine. They make me happy.
@Zigs your daff has a little friend @Dirtmechanic that's a nice camelia. Sorry about the frost. Next year it will have twice as many.
This one surprised me today, and therefore I think it's the best-looking bloom I've seen so far in March. They're usually early but this is unusually early. This Erythronium is a E. dens-canis ssp. niveum cross breed. It was sold as ssp. niveum, but it's not the species. I like it, so I keep it. I also have the species plus a few other Erythronium, both hybrids and species, scattered about.
@Droopy, that Erythronium is lovely! We have a yellow type. I don't know if they will bloom this year. Here are flowers in my front yard today.
Thanks, @Daniel W, we rather like it. Lovely narcissi! We've got the yellow "Pagoda", a taller type and more showy.
Absolutely beautiful narcissi, Daniel. Loggie, your blue hyacinths are so lovely to see. Thank you both for showing your beauties.
To be honest, I would not care to be found staggering about the yard in a disheveled state because I experimented with a tea yet unknown to me! I did not know it was possible!
