What's Looking Good in March 2022

Some Violets up near the Church today

 

First of the potted daffs

 

We've got a few daffs too

 

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.

 

First of the hyacinths

 

Absolutely beautiful narcissi, Daniel.
Loggie, your blue hyacinths are so lovely to see.
Thank you both for showing your beauties.

 

Thank you Sjoerd.

 

@Daniel W That's Captain Neem Oil

@Dirtmechanic Can you still make a cup of tea out of it?

 

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!

 

I think tea comes from Camelia sinensis, hang on, I'll have a google
