Flowers and foliage March 2008

Karl,
Just the same view here. Let's hope this spook will not last too long 
Fine marginatas in your garden too.

Michael,
According their beauty for me Moreas are improved Iris if their flowers would last a little bit longer than only a day.

Gerd,
after your comments on the Moraeas, I made a more detailed check and can now tell you that the  Moraea atropunctata flower has
lasted for six days, and remained open at night.
Michael.

Michael,
Thank you - that's a good time. This species is indeed worth to try it.

A few things beginning to stir in the garden and the troughs

[Gerdk]

Nothing special but a reliable garden plant

Muscari latifolium

[Tony Willis]

Not very exciting but the sun today brought these out

[Gerdk]

Tony,
Beautiful colours!

Anemone pavonina, A. hortensis and A. blanda?

Not very exciting but the sun today brought these out

  These red Anemones are not exciting??

[Tony Willis]

I was contrasting them with some of the wonderful plants that had been shown earlier.

Gerd they are as you thought pavonina and hortensis but also coronaria.The blanda is a nusiance which has got into my plunge and comes up everywhere.

Here's some from my garden, despite the rain, hail, snow and wind of the last 2-3 weeks...

Fibigia triquetra
Jeffersonia dubia
Tulipa humilis alba caerulea occulata (has been like this for two weeks and hasn't had one hour of sunshine to open up  )

This will cheer you up, Luc. This a close up from mine earlier this week

Not much happening yet with my A. pavoninas planted in the garden

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Thanks Mark ! I guess it will be next year before I get to see them opened "live"...

Spring is in the air, Luc?

I have been meaning to post these for a week or so. Ranunculus are high up on my favourite list of flowers, so forgive me for 3 shots of the same plant. The 1st is full stem & leaf, 2nd top view of the flower and 3rd after a few days as the pink colour intensifies.
