Appleblossom Selfie

Amaryllis buds are slow to open in this weather. I brought an Appleblossom into the house to see if I could rush it.

I hope you are as amused at this effort as I was. Better than a fun house mirror.

Notes on a Warm Day

The temperature outside today was 70º and sunny. Inside the greenhouse was perfect with the door open. Ladybugs lined the ceiling. I saw a fencepost lizard yesterday and the cachepots are full of peeper frogs.

The palm I repotted looks pretty good today. After I made a spot for 

it on the NW corner, the rest of that shelf needs reordering.

Hyacinth foliage is showing above its companion sedum.

The sedum took off ahead of white hyacinths.

White hyacinths and sedum acre. Pink hyacinths and Graptopetalum.

Some hyacinths are showing nice buds.

Angel Wing Begonia in bloom.

I rooted a pot full of new cuttings in the fall.

Begonias growing outside are dead.

Birds Nest Fern, Setcreasea and Persian Shield.

Anticipation. 

Note the second bud emerging.

The next freeze is expected Wednesday night with 28º as the low.
