What's blooming in the garden on the 15th of the month
It's been almost a year since I posted something. Much time was spent working on an investment house last year, and then surgery, and then beginning a gardening Instagram account. I really like Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, so let's start blogging again.
There is not much springing in spring yet, but here are a few items found.
Yes, I know. Just a crocus. But, these crocuses were in the original gardens when I moved here over 30 years ago. They pop up in different places and in different gardens each year.
Extremely fragrant, jasmine-like, early-blooming white forsythia of the olive family.
Hellebores - I thought there was one color when I picked it up at a plant swap.
Mahonia
Unknown amaryllis bulb picked up at a plant swap and planted in the ground last spring. Brought indoors in the fall, it surprised me by finally blooming now.Find other garden bloggers' posts at May Dream Gardens
Oh, the crocus are so lovely though!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms, loved the Amaryllis and hellebores . It would be my pleasure if you share your gardening related post here http://jaipurgardening.blogspot.com/2021/03/garden-affair-spring-flower-snapdragon.html
ReplyDeleteI love those hellebores. I have four hellebores I planted last year, and they are just starting to make themselves known Thanks for letting me visit.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling. This is my third year with these. They took a few years to get going.
DeleteI would love to follow you on Instagram if you would share how to find you.

ReplyDeleteI will put up an Instagram link here later.
I wish crocus were even half as happy in my climate, Ray. I received a handful of bulbs of an unidentified crocus as a gift with purchase 3 years ago and they surprised me by not only blooming the first year but returning the next 2 years, which isn't the experience I'd had previously. They haven't spread, though, and they essentially have no stems at all. I love your hellebores too.
ReplyDeleteI think my crocus spread by way of squirrel effort.
DeleteIt’s nice to see you blogging again and your blooms are lovely. I like your assortment of Hellebores and the white Forthysia. It’s not something to see around here often. Stay well.
