In The Garden

March 10th - The snow has almost melted. We're beginning to see the sun and the temperatures are beginning to rise. Spring is late so the earliest blooming flowers are a delight more than ever! Narcissus 'Cantabricus' was in bloom from November through the low teen temperatures and lasted until just recently - amazing. But thought you'd enjoy seeing the what we call 'little guys' - the flowers that you miss unless you got out to look! What a treasure they are and more and more will bloom each day! So please, if you're in the area, stop by for a visit. The Bulb Shoppe and Gardens will be open Monday - Saturday 10am - 4pm between now and the end of spring. Yall Come! (if you double click on a picture, it will get larger!)

Right outside The Bulb Shoppe, is a protective tent filled with pots of bulbs that may be purchased. They have been pre-rooted and pre-grown and are ready for your patio, container or your garden. Because they have spent the winter outside and have just been brought in with enough light and warmth to get them 'going', they're perfectly fine outside! Come, see and smell - many have a fabulous fragrance!	To the right, just outside The Bulb Shoppe, is the Bulb Shoppe Greenhouse where we keep forced indoor-type bulbs this time of year so you can find them easily for purchase. You can see how beautiful they look. A bit later in the season, this is where the very popular 'Tropical Plants' are on display and are for sale. Come and take a look!

The Rock Garden, which isn't absolutely finished, still has some cute flowers already in bloom! Dwarf Iris and crocus are what is mostly in bloom. They bloom so early that many people miss seeing them which is such a shame! They're fabulous!	This is just a close up of a few of the flowers in bloom in the rock garden. Since the sun has finally shown itself, the rocks warm up and help these early bloomers bloom even earlier that they normally would. Please don't miss the opportunity to see this area - it's fabulous and will only get better!

This is a south-facing area of the Rock Garden where miniature daffodils and species tulips are beginning to bloom. They are adorable! We hope you'll come to see them!	Just beyond the Rock Garden is the Winter Garden where many winter blooming or early spring blooming bulbs are planted. Also, if you look closely, you can see the 'coral barked maple' in the background. This is becoming one of our favorite gardens!

This is a close up of some of the crocus in the Winter Garden. There will be more and more blooming soon and we can't wait to see them all!	Ipheion uniflorum 'Rolf Fiedler' is a treasure - there are SO few flowers that are true blue - and here it is blooming with what looks like a Veronica 'Georgia Blue' - all this in our Rock Garden!
