My Veltheimia bracteata is blooming in the greenhouse. Due to their intricate structure, the flowers are almost as beautiful in the bud state as they are fully bloomed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Tulips have been budding and blooming quickly in the last two weeks, elegant in all stages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Lots of Pleione blooms in the greenhouse! I am relieved. The rats were eating the pseudobulbs pretty regularly, and I thought there might be none left!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Phlox cuttings taken in late March. They wilted right away, but luckily it rained a bit and they are recovering. There are 24 cuttings, 6 each in four gallon-sized pots.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Narcissus hybrid forced in pots in the greenhouse. These have lasted a few weeks now, and the fragrance is sweet but subtle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Masdevallias blooming in the greenhouse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Hyacinths have been surprisingly perennial in the memory garden. I have an odd mix of colors. I think of them as festive rather than chaotic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Forsythia in front of the orchard garden. This plant is painfully yellow, but there is a grace in the way the flowers hang from the stems that gets overlooked in the glare.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Oregano in the veggie garden\u2013the foliage makes charming patterns.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Fritillaria raddeana is a naughty ornamental in the native plant garden. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Euphorbia blooming in the memory garden in the rain. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Easter cactus just a week or two early.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Mom\u2019s cymbidium, gifted to me by brother Tim many moons ago. This cultivar never fails to produce a few scapes of phenomenal blooms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Corydalis in the memory garden. Early, short, and sweet\u2013they only last two weeks, and the plants disappear shortly after. They are reliable, though, and thoroughly perennial here, but nonspreading.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Corylopsis blooms in the front of the orchard garden. Lighter and more demure than the forsythia next door, this shrub has healthy but fairly uninteresting foliage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Clematis bud\u2013one of thousands on our back fence. We should have a great show this year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
