Promises, promises

Despite the cold weather, and the white Christmas, this little bloom reminds me that spring will be here before a lot longer. Excuse the reflections of the greenhouse frame. "I'm dreaming of a warm spring. Just like the one I had this year. Where the lilies are blooming, the birds are chirping, and the trees are greening everywhere..." or something like that.

Very nice and I wish it would come on already!

These lilies are patiently waiting in the greenhouse for warm weather so that they can start to grow rapidly. They are holding steady, but I am sure are as impatient for warm weather as we are.  Bags of tropical tubers will be producing lots of plants to be made available for sale in April, and some are already starting to sprout! Warm weather, we are ready!

sigh, it's going to be a high of 26 here today.

Only a little further west of perplexed in MI, but it did hit 32F today.  Hope it is not our January thaw.  Even the plants in the greenhouse are suffering from the short grey days here.  About the only ponding I am doing is cutting brush on the edge of one pond while it is frozen.  Just for fun though I did put a bunch of last summers fry in the 1000 gal tank in the greenhouse.  At least I get a little pond fix from that.
