Show us your landscape - a photo thread - March 2012
Comments (28)You turn your back on them and they suddenly leap out of nowhere! I went out on the deck as the sun was going down to check on a wind toy, and I saw daffodils in the middle of some junipers! I raced out with the camera to catch the last light (not enough light for a good closeup): N. 'Jetfire' and Juniper 'Gray Owls' And on the way back into the house I looked at a bed from a different angle and saw another daffodil near the house foundation! N. 'Lemon Glow' Claire...See MoreShow us your gardens - a photo thread - March 2016
Comments (26)The coastal spring here is slow, as usual, but there are a few things to look at. Daffodils: Jetfire (the one I posted earlier turned out to be Jetfire, not Rijnveld's Early Sensation - someday I hope to be able to type this without checking the spelling) and Toby the First. Pieris are starting to bloom but it doesn't seem to be a good year. They had lots of fine buds over the winter but the heavy icy late snows and maybe the critters and turkeys (I saw a squirrel climbing all over a pieris) may have damaged them. Late crocuses are still blooming. C. t. 'Ruby Giant' Yucca 'Color Guard' has looked pretty much the same all winter - a nice reliable color accent. In the hope for the future category, the peonies are sprouting: and one of the Gold Heart dicentras has appeared along with Geranium 'Biokovo' leaves. I spotted a few vinca flowers in an out-of-the-way spot and the pussy-willow buds are furry. Claire...See MoreShow us your gardens - a photo thread - March 2017
Comments (8)That does look hopeful, spedigrees, and water in the brook is a wonderful thing. I second the pancake placement, Jane. As if the cold snap wasn't enough, the NWS is talking about "... Elevated risk for fire spread today... Even drier air will overspread southern New England today with minimum relative humidities only 10 to 20 percent expected across much of the region. Northwest winds will not be as gusty as Saturday, but still quite strong with frequent gusts around 25 mph. This combination will lead to an elevated risk for fire spread. Winds should diminish fairly quickly early this evening, after sunset." I do have one unexpected sign of impending spring. My clivia 'Golden Dragon' has never bloomed in the winter when it's supposed to - it always waits until it goes out on the deck (around the beginning of June) and then blooms in July. But this year it started showing a bud on February 28 - probably earlier but I wasn't looking for one. and today the blossom is looking serious even though it's hiding between the leaves! And last year's flower stalk has two seed pods on it! I think I'll wait and see if the seed pods/fruit ripen and then maybe try to germinate the seeds (if there are any in there).

Comments (51)Thanks for the link, maybe this is the year I'll get one. :-) I was looking at a new map of the zones in Mass the other day and it clearly indicated that my area is now 6b instead of 6a like I thought I was. I wondered if that means you are zone 7a where you are? If your crocus just opened, then it would make sense that mine would be behind you. I also have a pretty heavy leaf mulch in some areas. Thanks. It isn't really spring until you hear the birds singing in the morning....See Moreprairiemoon2 z6b MA
