Crocus’ Still blooming

April 24, 2007 by Tricia

Yah yeah I know. Sunday was a couple of days ago. I get it. I was busy! I’ve never missed a Green Thumb Sunday post and I won’t now either. Better late than never.

I can’t believe my crocus’ are still blooming. See when I told you that we’ve had a cool and dismal April I meant it. My crocus’ usually begin to bloom in the last week of March and they are often done by mid April, but here’s my lovely crocus’ still blooming their heads off.

It won’t last much longer now that it’s warmed up, but I’m enjoying having them around a little longer this year.

Tiger Lilies

I love my Tiger lilies. I grow a number of different types of lilies but I think I like the original tiger lilies that came with my house best.

Even though we’ve hit another cold spell I’d swear that I saw some lily sprouts out in the garden. They grow well through April and May and often bloom depending upon what kind of spring and summer we are having any where from mid June to Mid July. The last few years they’ve bloomed by Mid June if memory serves me correctly.

Did anyone get any flowers for Easter? For some reason Lilies are often included in Easter flower bouquets. They aren’t Easter flowers to me, but I guess they are to some people.

I hope everyone has enjoyed this long weekend. Happy Easter to All.

For the Love of Peace

This is an almost blown Love and Peace rose blossom. This is absolutely gorgeous multicolored rose.

It begins it’s blooming stage as peach and yellow colored buds that bloom into multi-colored roses of yellow, red, orange, and peach that could seem quite gaudy if you stare at them too long. The fully open rose blooms are at least 5 inches in diameter and the love and peace Hybrid Tea rose plant itself bloom prolifically throughout the season.

I’m eager for my rose growing season to begin. I have to wait almost two months before I’ll start to see the first flower buds on my roses. It’s worth the wait.

Spring is here – the garden is coming back to life

Peonies, rhododendron, hosta, lilies, daylilies …

In about two months one small area of my garden, near the patio, will look like this. The Rhododendron will be blooming with it’s large cherry red flowers, the hosta leaves will be in perfect shape as yet untouched by nasty slugs, and the peonies (karl Rosenfield) and day lilies will be preparing to bloom.

Spring, late spring and early summer are the time of year that I think I enjoy the garden the most. Almost every day there is something new to look at. During that time of year the plants are growing fast, and a plant that didn’t have flower buds one day suddenly seems to develop tiny flower buds almost over night.

A few of the plants in my garden have started to show signs that they are waking up. I can’t wait until several more plants come back to life and start to grow.

Who else is excited now that it’s spring?

Scentsational rose, Scentsational blooms

This is a photograph of one of the many roses that I grow in my garden. This rose is called Scent_Sation and it’s a hybrid tea. It doesn’t really have much scent, but what it lacks in scent it makes up for in prolific blooms.

Once this baby gets going sometime in June each year it’s pretty much in a constant state of bloom until October or November. I believe that this past year it still had blooms on it into December since our winter was so warm. Of course those blooms weren’t doing much and looked kind of raggy but it was interesting to see.

Now, after the recent snow and ice storm, all of the roses and other plants growing in my garden are covered in a heavy layer of snow. The weather is warming though and I’m sure that many of the plants will peek out from under their snowy cover soon.
