Not sure how many are still around but I\'m going to keep posting at least for now. I don\'t have any other gardening home...
Here are some pictures from today. It remains ridiculously cold.
High today in low 40\'s and another freeze tonight.
Seems spring will never get here.
But amazingly enough, some hardy stalwarts are blooming.
#1 is Corydalis kusnetzovii x C. solida Vanessa. Lavender band around the lip.
#2 is Hepatica japonica.
#3 is another corydalis, C shanginii ssp ainii. Bright yellow contrasting with purple nose.
#4 is a pulmonaria, not sure which one.
#5 is the only primula I\'ve had success with. It\'s in it\'s 3rd year, already starting to bloom. Primula vulgaris Belarina Amethyst Ice. Based on it\'s success I bought a different cultivar of the same species called Nectarine with yellow/gold flowers. It\'s still sitting in a pot in my garage waiting for spring to eventually show up. We\'ll see how it does.
