Blooming Outside January 14th...
« on: January 14, 2007, 08:43:07 AM »
Quince aka Chaenomeles speciosa, my 2 little baby plants are blooming already.
Should bloom in March, leafing out too.

Yeah, that's what I said, "Blooming garden!!!" >:(  Everything is cut back and brown with just a tinge of white snow from this morning. It'll be quite a while before there will be any blossoms of any sort.

Your pondsai is doing well as usual. It must be pretty humid there for your moss to do so well. Where is Mr. Frog? Does he hibernate?

Gorgeous Joyce -
Despite a drop below zero, I have live plants blooming - wave petunias are ace! Now I know you are having West Coast weather while we are "enjoying" East Coast weather, but how on earth do constantly have this fabulous garden going?

"Having been trapped onboard at JFK for six hours waiting for a third deicing to get to LAX" you should be digging out, not posting bragging pics!

Keep enjoying,

Cheers,

Mike

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

Mike, we've been having warmer weather than if we were still living in NC!
It's bizarre, and I'm not complaining. 8)
This week were are supposed to have a couple days in the mid to upper 20s, with teens in the night,
(and when they forecast for this area, they are usually talking for NY city,
not our ocean induced microclimate we have out here 100 miles from NYC...
so we always add at least 5 degrees to every forecast temp, more like 10*)
then back up to balmy again in the upper 40s and 50s by next weekend. O0

Being that we can not use the fireplace anymore cuz it's been condemned since the chimney fire on Xmas,
this warm weather is wonderful on our heating bills! (8:-)

That euphorbia rocks! So far I've boycotted euphorbias since I'm get poinsettia overload on the job every December! But I must say the summer amaranths in the seed catalogs look mighty tempting!

I just have some buds on my hellebore, still a month or two earlier than usual. Lots more foliage than normal for this time of year - even some lamium is hanging in there.
