4/7/09 What’s Blooming?
Narcissus in it’s many forms.
FRONT BEDS
I gave this Magnolia sp. (I think it’s a saucer magnolia) a pretty severe hair cut and almost took out the power line.
Up close.
A purple Magnolia that blooms later.
Tulips
Grape hyacinths (Muscari sp.) and Fritillaria meleagris (Snake’s Head Fritillary, Checkered Daffodil, Frog-cup, Guinea-hen Flower, Leper Lily, Snake’s Head) grow under the Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum).
Closer…
Closer still.
EDIBLE GARDEN
Peas!
Spinach!
Walking onions!
ON THE SIDE
Camellia sp.
Camellia sp.
Lilac (Syringa sp.)
Calla lilies (Zantedeschia sp.) I forget to move the bikes off and forget to protect from the slugs EVERY year and yet they still come back and flower. Now that’s a plant I love.
