They're refreshing to look at! Congrats for being this week's PoW!

Wow thanks! Always a cheerful honor.

Those flowers are stunning Catjac

I have only had an Aloe bloom a very few times. The bud is stunning. I cannot wait for it to open. You southerners probably find this common in your gardens.

I crossed some Amaryllis many years ago. The peas sized bulbs took many years to grow to full size. I understand that in a warm climate they will bloom in 3 years. Not so, plodding along in my greenhouse. I am glad that I am so tenacious . These were worth waiting for. I have a few blood red doubled Amaryllis with little bits of white for a splash.

Forced forsythia, Andromeda and daffodils brightening the house.

I hybridized somme Amaryllis flowers years ago. The seedlings are grown and now blooming like crazy.. What a great way to get through the cold spring with these blooms in my greenhouse. Everyday something new opens. Maybe not too special, but special to me.View attachment 34673

Flower stems breaking out of ground (I think they are Irises).

New budding plants are always a refreshing sight! Congrats on being this week's POW!

That looks like tulips to me. Brush away some of that mulch.

The garden is ready to go - fingers crossed for the Hastings Prolific corn to come up strong this year. We've got Clay County Yellowmeat Watermelon on the other side hopefully too.
