Not all my allium
We planted 4 allium bulbs last fall and they survived the winter and are putting on a good show.

Bulbs are slowly coming along
We had a brutal winter and it’s been a cool spring. The tulips are just now starting to bloom. Our hyacinths were starting to fall over after a nice rain. The forsythia has fully bloomed yet and our lilac is just starting to show signs of life.
Happy #FloralFriday

Spring, please don’t go
The picture with snow was from this week.

Finally Spring
The snowdrops, Galanthus (Snowdrop; Greek gála “milk”, ánthos “flower”), really put on a show this year. I guess they liked all the snow piled on the during this ridiculous winter. The crocus are just starting to come out as well.

Happy #FloralFriday.
The orchid that I’ve been posting images of has finally lost its flowers. The picture below is from about a week ago. Similarly the bird of paradise is done. The sap dangling from the “beak” is somehow symbolic of its expiration. We do have 6 orchids getting ready to bloom. The mandevilla is blooming (indoors!). We also are trying to grow some hydrangea cuttings.
