Unknown Red Camellia

Your unknown red Camellia from a few posts back looks like C. 'Freedom Bell' to me.

Spring is certainly more advanced other places!
Today here: Windy, cloudy and cold (7C). Still some plants manage to flower: (Due to low light level the depth of field is rather small)

The American skunk cabbage is growing fast when it starts. The Kamtsjatkan relative is a little later. Both prefere rather wet conditions.


282898-1   282900-2

The evergreen whiteflowered Chrysosplenium flowers for a long time and has already been here for a couple weeks. All the relatives I know of is yellow.


282902-3   282904-4   282906-5

On somewhat drier ground the windflower, Anemone nemorosa has just opened it's first flowers. The Corydalis have been out for some days.

Fargesia rufa foreground, F. murieliae at the rear.  The former is an extremely robust grower but manages to stay in a tight clump.  Very green after a longish winter.

Een few pictures of flowers here.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Your garden seems to be bursting with colours Anne !... and your's still a bit undercooled Natalia..  ;D 8)

Here's some images from what I caught flowering today :

1) Draba suendermanii
2) Fibigea triquetra
3) and it's close relative, judging by the looks, Degenia velibitica.
4) The dainty Aquilegia canadensis nana
5) Primula "Hyacinth"
6) Some colour in the front garden
