It is a pretty little bloom. That is sure some very warm weather you are getting tarev.

Spring is on it's way with sunshine and 70's today. Even MR is warming up.

The surrounding semps are making offsets, so I have replacements! woohoo!

Yup, we are on heat up mode the rest of the week!

Grow little offsets, grow.
That is just way to warm for me tarev. MR is to cold, and you are to hot.

They said we will cool down again next week..thankfully!

I hope you all get rain Tarev! You can have a bit of ours!

And ours! It's too bad they haven't learned how to mix the climates here on earth... Although I think they have been working on it and that's why we are having some of our crazy weather. It didn't freeze last night for the first time all spring (32.4 degrees) but tonight back into the teens and now they've given 4 as the low for tomorrow night.

I do need to get my camera going -- I'm just still overwhelmed with desk jobs plus my "go-to" camera dying on us... My little carnivores are all sprouting stalks and buds! One set really need to be divided and repotted -- should do that instead of checking in here!

MR I'm sure your semps are just fine!! And once you do uncover them they will already be in their colorful glory! Stay warm yourself though!

Guess we'll find out. We're discovering that some of the bulbs we potted up for forcing were too frozen (it held quite a ways below zero for a long time). They had a deep covering of snow that you'd think would have protected them... Well, the semps had a deeper covering; I'm hoping to get to them in the next day or two (before it goes below zero again Saturday night...)

MR, for my two cents, I would warn you not to move them or uncover them until your temps are up to stay.

This is the period when I have lost many of mine. They look great in March and early April, greening or coloring. I get excited and start uncovering and moving them around, ..... then kaplowie, .....a cold snap hits and they are exposed then very shortly they begin to shrivel up and are DEAD

I sort of figured that, Marilyn, which is why there hasn't been any real news about them. Even though it has stayed above freezing for 36 hours, it is now down to 29 and by tomorrow night, they predict close to zero again. I hope this won't be like the summer in the 19th century when it snowed in July. Folks here starved when even the rye didn't crop... One Dutchman pulled everyone's chestnuts out of the fire by putting in succession plantings of peas all summer and letting everyone come and pick their own. I love old stories like that! (Although I do hope it isn't prophetic...)

Thanks for everyone listening to my griping! I can hear your finger tapping, Lynn, but this weather does a number on my face and squinting into a camera has just felt beyond me for the past couple of days... I'll get there! I really do have quite a few new seedlings (hundreds of Silverine, of course) and one of these days, they will begin to look enough different from each other to be newsworthy. Right now, my little carnivorous plants are the most exciting!

Not my fingers you hear tapping. I love reading your posts. And I know what the really cold weather does to you.
Hang in there my friend. I've been trying to order sunny weather for when you get here. Hope it works.

More fade away bloom showing, with our nicely warm temps:

Wow, the semp blooms are so beautiful. Thanks for the photos tarev. We are still quite a ways away from bloom season here.

Happy to share the brief beauty it gives!

It was such a nice surprise to see them.

Ummm... I just don't have any semp photos to share; this is off topic and I've posted this photo elsewhere... but this shows I'm getting somewhere's (don't ask where) with my garden!

I still have to look up the name of this carnivore (Mexican something) and the only camera I have right now is my mini laptop which is no good at closeups. Still, until I get something else going, here is my contribution to growing experiences. It really is cute, and there's another bud coming! I have 5 litttle carnivores happily doing their thing, but they are so small (like my semps) that my current photographic equipment can't record them...

That certainly is cute MR. And I love the bright blue/purple bloom.

Love that.

Yes, that electric blue was a surprise; I'd expected a sedate pale pink. I've just tried pollinating it with a little paint brush, going deep inside to find the pollen. Can't resist!

Lovely bloom Pinguicula bloom MR!

Today, is a very breezy, cool day..hope the semps love this weather..a nice cool down for a change!
