It was such a blustery day yesterday that I missed Garden Blogger's Bloom Day! Out here in the quasi-sticks, the wind kept blowing out our Internet connection.
So I'm a day late and (a dollar short is debatable) but there are blooms to share this month. So I'll round out the list at #155, and share what's been giving me joy as I peek out the window.
I'm loving that teensy-tiny slip of anemone. (At least that's what I've been calling it!) It was a passalong from my mom - I only have a bitty slip of it. I forget about it every year.
And the hyacinth! Sweet-scent from heaven! I can't believe that I forgot to plant more hyacinth last fall. I only have a few blooming, but their fragrance is enough to make the breeze in the whole yard smell beautiful.
Remember the Doomed Daffodils? Lazy things...they crawled out of their winter nap nearly 3 weeks behind the rest of the daffodils. I'm not sure if it's because they are a later daffodil, or because they were planted under an avalanche of snow that took longer to melt. At any rate, I'm very pleased to see the little buds showing.
Pretty soon they will be showing off like the rest of the scattered daffs in the garden!
What's blooming in your neck of the woods? Wait...I forgot...there are 155 entries already...
Maybe you'll be #156???
Actually, you're 156 and I'm 157. The Blossoms that got left off in yesterday's Seedscatterer Bloom Day post (#69) clamored to be included, so I put them on Dotty Plants and tacked it on.
ReplyDeleteYour Daffodils are beautiful. By all means plant lots of hyacinths this fall and stick one each in 2 or 3 mugs of pebbles to bloom indoors while snow is on the ground.
I bet your anemone will colonize and reward you with more...mine finally has...I adore the smell of hyacinths so much I plant more in the garden each year..the smell is one of the things I look forward to in the early spring...blustery spring day here today...loved your daffs even if they are lazy :)
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the heavenly scent of hyacinth. And your daffodils are looking great too. Happy bloom day
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never with the daffodils. Your other blooms are very pretty too. Thanks for stopping by my site!
ReplyDeleteBlue is my favorite color in the garden and I love the photos of the anemone and hyacinth. Your daffodils are pretty too! My bulbs are just about finished here and I'm eagerly waiting for the roses to bloom!
ReplyDeleteThose blues are beautiful! And glad your daffodils finally decided to bloom. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDelete@Nell: Thanks for the correction...number 1-5-6 I'll claim. I've never tried forcing hyacinth; I'll give it a shot next winter!
ReplyDelete@Donna: Oh, I do hope they will colonize. I've been drooling over online photos of anemones recently.
@Muhammad: Thank you! It's worth imagining!
@Bumble: You are very welcome. I'm glad they decided to show up, too.
ReplyDelete@Dorothy: Something about blue in the garden just takes my breath. Roses do too, but I'm not sure about blue roses. :)
@Holley: Yee-haw! Me too!
I love the blues. Pretty photos you took too. If I waited for two days late, I would have had daffodils to show instead of a tight bud, plus like you, the hyacinths opened.
ReplyDeleteYour anemone is beautiful! I am glad the daffodils are up and blooming. I enjoy seeing the first signs of spring in your garden; my spring is rapidly turning to summer!
ReplyDelete@GWGT: So I guess there was a benefit in being late! :)
ReplyDelete@debsgarden: Thank you...it was a nice surprise to see it show up and bloom. Summer is just around the corner!
