Not Open Yet

The Maholia buds came out recently. No blooms at first glance, but the lemony scent near the shrub proved that a few were releasing their fracrance on the warm day. It was enough to attract one pollinator, who was running from unopened bud to unopened bud looking for some treat. He left after realizing we are not yet open for business.

March 2021 Bloom Day

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day
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.
