If I can find a nicer one in a year or so, this one will be up for grabs, I'll make sure you get first shot...

Would appreciate that Judy!

... ...here are some buds on the Pauls Scarlet Hawthorn ready to pop soon. The tree is covered with them.

I assume you are keeping them in your greenhouse, aren't you Judy?
Can't wait to see it full of flowers!

Yes of course, as we are still in cold weather situation here. I'm excited to see it so full.

In a pot?

 

[Vin]

Azalea flowers are abound.

In a pot?

Yes. Not bonsai though. It's a giant air layer I separated after two years using a colander.

Forsythia (a rooted cutting)

 

[Wilson]

First blooms of the year! The one flower has a weird petal in the middle.

 

[GrimLore]

Except for a few Crocus which are slowly showing as the snow melts I found this Orchid to have an interesting bloom indoors -



Grimmy

This one is called Gable's Stewartstonian, weird name, but it is named after the town in which he lives. I love the deep orange-red. It still needs some work on shape, I pretty much let it grow wild last summer as I had not seen this one in full bloom.

Some miscellaneous azaleas blooming, the satsukis are starting to throw a few randoms.

Thunderbird (at least that is what the flea market lady told me)



Chinzan (satsuki)



Kobai (satsuki), one of many variations of the flowers, this is the first one to open



I have the name of this one, but I forgot to write it down before I came in, I really like this flower





Coral Bells

Wakaebisu



Elsie Lee, I like these because they look like a rose



Tsuki No Shimo

Thanks, and it is...

This is what happens when you don't time the fungicide right, petal blight, it turns the flowers to mush in just one day:

Congo









Girard's Rose

Good for you IL is more like hell. Stupid, unpredictable winters, hot, humid summers, corrupt politicians, we got it all.
