My Bulbs are Up!

I finally got outside today to check out the garden. I have had a week of family emergencies and it has taken up all my time. My mom is home from the hospital now but still feeling not quite herself so if I seem to be AWOL once in awhile you know where I am. I have to take care of the person who taught me about gardening, that's for sure.



Look at this! It seems like I just planted these Narcissus and they are up already. Like many parts of the country, its been pretty mild here with temperatures well above the freezing.



I thought I would share some of the blooms from my garden along with Glenda at Tootsie Time. I was about to toss this bowl of Christmas cactus out when it started to bloom. Isn't that always the way? You threaten a plant and they start behaving.



The Primula continue to bloom as they did last month. I see more new shoots emerging so hopefully different colours will be in bloom soon.



The Viburnum bodnantense is in full bloom. I love looking at this shrub as I work in my office. It reminds me that spring is not so far away.



The winter Jasmine is blooming like crazy. I love the tiny yellow flowers. This one has been blooming all winter on bare stems which will leaf out in the spring.
It should be an interesting winter as I noticed one tiny bloom on my Forsythia this morning. The Forsythia has lots of new buds on it and it would be fun to force a few branches for inside the house.

Happy Gardening,
Kristin
