March 2011 in the Northern Hemisphere

[Lesley Cox]

A lovely colour combo Maureen of pink, plum and darkest Dawson cherry. Very scrumptious, and obviously enjoying each other's company.

I'll take a photo later today of the young potted (nursery) plants from Brian's seed, of Sorbus reducta. A lovely scarlet/crimson at present. BUT.... the half dozen I planted out are happily running about.

A couple of things from me. Pulsatilla grandis seedling, a closeup and the Caspian primrose Primula heterochroma

[Diane Whitehead]

I have a niche above my sink where I keep a small bouquet.

Here is the current one.  The scent of the violets makes washing
dishes almost a pleasure.

[Graham Catlow]

Thats a really nice Pulsatilla Ian.

Is Pulsatilla grandis the same as P. halleri ssp grandis? I can find both.

[ruweiss]

Cyclamen coum and Crocus tommasinianus are now past their best, but now self sown
Primulas, Anemone nemerosa, blanda and our native Corydalis take their place. It is always
amazing for me to see this diversity of new flower colours.

Some spring colour.  After the warmer weather this last week the garden is looking more colourful.
First a rather untidy patch with Hellebores which should have been repotted or planted out at least two years ago and Olsynium douglasii which was lifted for showing last spring and is still waiting to be split up and replanted. 
In the front garden Corydalis malkensis and Corydalis solida

hello john,
the rhodo is hodgsonii, a great place for it, and no damage in the wintermonth.....

cheers

Chris - Your R. hodgsonii is a beauty. I have either it or hodgsonii aff. growing here in NS so it must hardier than previously thought.  I wonder how long we will have to wait for the first flower?

Wonderful spring pictures from you all, and lovely plants.

What's the narcissus in your second photo Ian?  It resembles one of my 'lost labels'.

Oh oh oh , shame on me ! 
It took me a long time (until today )to see that you are the same Chris(tian)that post and visit our forum (Flemish rockgarden)
But today I recognised the pictures ... (not  your second name) 
Amazing to see the Asphodelus in the garden Chris, think it is not hardy in our garden ?

[christian pfalz]

hi kris,
i wrote you in the other forum..... ,
acaulis is hardy in my garden, only rain protection over the winter months, together with oncos, elegantissima, sari, nigricans and other mediterranean geophytes...

cheers
