No April Showers — Just Flowers

Here are some flower photos from around the greenhouse and garden. The spring rush is on!

Closer up, the flowers are delicate and cheerful.

Clivia Force

The number of clivia flower spikes in the greenhouse is pretty low this year, but some of the spikes themselves are immense. The classic “Miss Clivia” passed from my brother many years ago has especially large umbels this year.
