Now that's true!

Update !
Blooming, still just the snowdrops and just one Hepatica (the others, another location, still sleeping)


And a few this-and-that:
Bukiniczia cabulica (of 3, 2 survived, but one looking really bad, not like this one)

My 2 tree peonies


My group of 5 (Hyacinths)

And... bunnies

I just love them when they are this small!

Calin,There looks to be in your photos so much hope for much green and flower color in the upcoming season. And of course the bunnies make me think of Easter already...Thanks for sharing such pleasant images.

Calin, how nice that you are seeing green and some blooms. The bunnies are adorable.

Very cute!! I love the 3rd photo, gonna have to go research what that is now!!
Cheers

3rd photo looks like an Alien plant...

Bev it does...Colin - now I have another "new" plant on my plant list! I'm going to have to get this one I think! Looking at google photos its amazing!
Bukiniczia cabulica is listed in the database here but no photos! There are some very cool plants that come up when you google this!

Thanks all.

That 3rd was something I found at some botanical gardens in Sweden and well I took 3 small ones. They were growing everywhere in the bulb/dry-liking plants as it was an area with lots of gravel and sand. So I guess it doesn't like too much wet. And with all the rains and snows we've had... I am surprised it survived. And well, the winter hasn't been WINTER at all. Much warmer than it usually is.
So this winter may not be the right one to decide this plant is HARDY over here.
Supposed to make tall slender and branched stems with lots of tiny white (if I remember correctly) flowers. The plant/leaves are the eye-catchers with this plant.

If picture is needed, someone can just get this one. But I think I have a better looking pic somewhere in the ID in one of my threads back in June/July (when I tried to ID it).

Found the thread. The thread "Succulent(like) and variegated rosette" in Plant ID forum
Well, I thought the pic was better, but I think this one is.

:)

Calin, according to the Denver botanical gardens these plants are biennial bloomers, and hardy to USDA zone 6 since you're in zone 6b that should be good

Yup, but I am afraid I may have not mixed enough sand and gravel in the spot.
I hope it's not too late to mend that.

A few other pics...
Lilium regale

Cardiocrinum giganteum

Fritillaria persica (another container)

NOID Allium - the huge seedhead


If all these make it to "adulthood" I'm gonna have a nice bulb garden

Calin, that is a great photo of Bukiniczia cabulica. I added it to the database for you. We now have a photo for that entry.
I am really looking forward to seeing how it does for you this year.

Calin, Lynn and I want some seeds if it blooms and seeds for you keep us little ATPers in mind Although if I have to wait for 2 years, then I may have to find seed somewhere else! It sure is a plant that I want in my garden!

Know any way to persuade it to bloom?
I can't make any promises, other than "I'll share the EXTRA seeds with you all".
Stress on EXTRA cause as it happens, this will die after producing seeds.

No pressure, Calin, but can you just sign on the dotted line so that we can get that notarized?

I did read that you can cut the bloom stalks off before they bloom and it is more likely to form offsets. But who would want to take the chance of at least having seed if the plant doesn't make it.

Colin you have a list of people waiting over here!

Then I will pray that it blooms
Checked today. Still looking good. And the tiny one next to it still alive as well.

What good news.

Calin, you seem to know alot about plants so here is one I'd love an ID on (I posted in plant ID but impatient )

I think it has a rhizome type root and as you can see it will be a good sized plant!
Thanks

Well,don't ask me how I remember its name but I DID.
Have never used it. I mean, it's exactly (I think) the plant I saw by river bank here, in some forests, and it was actually only the stems with the blooms (they were pinkish, not white) and when I pulled some, they had really long and thick roots. Later on in summer, huge leaves everywhere.

Petasites would be the name.

IS IT ?

I put the pics somewhere for ID and someone IDed it and since then I have never used the word. What memory I can have sometimes!!!
(rarely, though)
