Garden bloggers' bloom day March 2015

I may be late but many of my blooms are early this year. We have tulips already, for Pete's sake! The daphnes, hellebores, and Pieris are all still going, making this month feel especially floriferous.

Tulipa 'Flair'

Tulipa 'Come Back'

Bigroot geranium (Geranium macrorrhizum)

Ribes sanguineum 'Variegata'

Ribes sanguineum

Rhubarb (Rheum x hybridium 'Victoria')

Vaccinium 'Sunshine Blue'

Epimedium 'Black Sea'

Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie'

Fothergilla gardenii 'Jane Platt'

A happy bloom day to you! Thanks to our host, Carol.

  2. Happy Belated Garden Bloggers Bloom Day! I have heard that you should remove the flowers from edible rhubarb. The prevailing wisdom is that the flowers take energy away from its effort to produce more leaves and stalks. Just sayin'...

  6. Beautiful specimens! I so wish I could grow tulips but I've promised myself I won't be tricked into trying them again - I can only imagine how they would have responded to our recent heatwave.

  13. Tamara's post of your garden was terrific. I didn't realize it had filled in so. I feel like one of its Aunties, having watched all the progress reports along the way. All your work is being rewarded with these spring beauties.
