Gardening Flowers & Foliage

Spring is coming

 

Still got a few days before any spring things happen in my gardens - LOL. Although, supposed to be near 50 for another day or two, so meltage will pick up - especially if we get some wind.

It's an indoor corn plant that I've had for decades. It sent out a flower stalk for the 1st time.

 

Daffodils are about 1" out of the ground here.

 

Sassafras are a good tree to look at in any season

 

Beautiful! Love redbud trees.

 

We’re in our fourth or fifth micro winter right now but these guys are still trying.

 

The hellebores and mini iris are busting through like winter never happened here.

 

This flower stalk on the indoor corn plant, has been filling the house with a scent between an Easter lily and lily-of-the-valley. Strong, pleasant smell.



The weight of the flowers caused the stalk to fall over.

 

I see some flowers

ok starting to come up

 

I saw some green yesterday. Which is actually not that exciting since these are evergreen plants anyway.

 

Bumper year for Trillium. I’ve never had so many in my yard.

 

Our 1st color of the season

 

Spring is slowly making its way here




Forsythia should be opening any day now

 

Last fall I found a package of bulbs that had been in the fridge for a couple of years. I wasn't sure what they were (they just had a number on thee bag), but decided to plant them around a Rose of Sharon in the south side garden. Saturday, as I was looking to see if anything was poking up, I found this



Usually the Giant Hyacinths in the shrub garden are the first to bloom. Not this year though

 

It took 8 days for my next flowers to appear. Interesting that this one patch of daffodils is blooming while none of the others are (although they do have the starts of buds). The hyacinths are not open yet, but should be in a couple of days.
