March 2021 in the Northern Hemisphere

Brian kindly lifted all the Hepaticas still looking good out of the greenhouse this morning. Top row H.j. HpHo Beni, H.j. Ryougetsu, H.j. Gyousei. Bottom row H.j. Toki, H. nobilis pygmy strain, H. n. Blue, H.n. Pink.

Our first tulips.

An Arabis that Brian has grown from our own seed.

Scilla bifolia

Scilla Pink Giant (I think)

Since we redid the garden a few years ago bulbs keep cropping up in unusual places.

Finally spring has arrived. Nice flowers to brighten up the surrounding

Hepatica japonica HoHo Beni is now fully out. This one always amazes me some flowers are double, some semi double and some almost single.

Hepatica japonica Toki looking well.

Hepatica nobilis Pink.

Finally Hepatica nobilis Pygmy strain from Ashwood's Nursery about 3 years ago.

Nice set of colors for the spring

Shelagh, nice to see all the colour from your garden!

Here it is still winter, temperatures at night are several degrees below zero and days barely above it, but next week the forecast promises a bit warmer nights so snow should start to melt faster.
In the earliest spot in the garden snow has melted but ground is still frozen. Some snowdrops are already up and ready to flower,
like 'Atkinsii' in the first picture and 'Viridapice' also up in the second picture.

Nice to see them coming through the snow Leena.

Leena, beautiful picture of the snowdrops in the snow!

Thank you Shelagh and Herman:).
By the beginning of April things start to happen more when the snow melts in other beds and ground unfreezes, but the sight of earliest snowdrops helps to wait for more spring to arrive. That is why I love snowdrops.

Nice pictures Leena. Spring has started at your place. In my garden snow drops are just poking out and if weather permits I may have some flowers soon.

What a cheerful sight Leena!
All the snow is gone here now, the ground is slowly starting to defrost. Big warm up announced for the weeknd!

Looking at Sue Simpson's wonderful display Brian says "Just too marvellous for words".

[ruweiss]

It is a great joy to look at these well grown Saxifragas, a suitable climate, experience and much love for
nature can create such a display. Many thanks for showing.

Callianthemum anemonoides in bud is nearly as beautiful as when it is in full flower.

I think I’m going to need to order a bigger bulb (alpine) house! Gorgeous pics of perfectly grown plants.
