First bloom of 2020
First bloom of 2020... can you guess the cultivar? Should be an easy guess. It has been a very slow start this year for the plumeria, but things are starting to move along. What is your first for 2020?

A few first blooms, and a couple pretty first ever blooms.
Comments (11)Julia, Mabou is from a more Northern hybridizer. After several bboming years, last year was just so-so for Citrix, but it has mnay more blooms this year than last. Mantix, Indigo Edge is about the same size bloom as Citrix. Brad, I lost my first Spoken in Parables to voles, but liked it so well I replaced it. Jean, some of the fancies take more than one season to really settle in, and I will wait6 for this for CB. Debra, my eye is too easy to catch:). Thanks, Ruth, I like too many of them myself. Chris, I really figured Indigo Edge would have trouble opening, but it opened well, early. I bought Mabou because I love the photo New York Rita posted of hers. Thanks, Jean. Sorry I've been off a a couple days. My grandkids gifted me with a virus that put me down:) kay...See MoreFebruary 2020 Blooms
Comments (19)Thanks Stush, but it's gotten a bit out of hand. We don't water much, and so that helps keep the weeds down, but when it rains, they just pop up anyway. Yes, I'm in zone 10b or 11a. I've not seen it get below 39°, and normally it does not get below 42° in the winter. I found some more tiny flowers in the front yard:I think this is also an Aeonium, but it's very small and the flowers are white instead of yellow.But it is blooming at the same time, and so maybe it is. It was a gift, and so it had no ID with it. This aloe is also blooming in the front yard - I overlooked it before somehow....See More2020 blooms, if you've got 'em show 'em
Comments (45)Hi GardenHo, have never seen a single stemmed lilac, tell us something about it. Do you know the name of it? Below is Magnolia ashei. Intensly fragrant, flowers are at their best before they open up. Unfortunately mine really got hammered by sapsuckers....See MoreFirst Blooms of 2020
Comments (1)Those blooms are gorgeous & Huge! I wish I had room for a Nellie. I'm a big fan of Monty Don but like him just a tad less bc he apparently can't stand Nellie. I won't have blooms for at least a month but will post pictures then. Looking forward to seeing others' pics until then. I bought most of my clems based on pics and recommendations from this and the perennial forum....See More

rox146, Your Showboat epi is spectacular!
Kawagoe (Santa Clara,CAHome of SF 49ers), loving your epis! That multi-bloom purple is amazing!
Last year, none of my plumeria bloomed. How weird is that? I fed & repotted them early in March, they were in full sun and received water 1-2 x week and zilch. That was the 1st year none of them bloomed. So far, only Aztec Gold (smells like peaches) bloomed this year. We still have 7 months of hot weather ... They go dormant even in our tropical climate when overnight lows hit 72 degrees in December. Let's see what the garden presents this year.
