Beautiful.. Now I know the name of some of mine Question
With moving I dont want to loose all my crocus. When can I dig them up ? They dissappear
pretty fast once the flowers are gone. And how do I store them ?

Shannon, how long will you be storing them for?

When do you need to dig them/ when will you be moving?

You can mark the area they are in while they are in flower, to dig later.

The best time to dig them is when they are dormant. (when the flowers and leaves have totally disappeared),

storing them in mesh bags(or a ventilated container) where they get good air circulation.

daffodils leaves in front of our stone wall are taller. I think they liked last week's rain.

none here. snow on the ground yet but with 52 today and 56 with rain tomorrow. No more snow. I say lets get it done!

First blooms today, two sunny yellow crocus.

Jo Ann,

Luv the purple one that you posted.

Oh, great news, Chelle!

Spring !

I have crocus blooming, too.

Those tornadoes were south, west, and east of me. Way too close for comfort.

It's a beautiful day today. I got out and raked some leaves, picked up lots of trash that arrived with the tornadoes.

Karen

YAY, crocuses, Karen!

Very glad you are ok.

The tornados hit a few parts of this state also. Feel so bad for the lives affected. Very tragic.

I like seeing that the spring blooms are coming up elsewhere. Ours are sure to come real soon....................... I HOPE.

chelle: The purple one is iris reticulata George.
I entered it for approval on the database and was accepted but I cant open the page nore will it come up when I search the database. I will keep trying.
I will have Katherine Hodgson,Frank Elder and Pixie in a week maybe if the warm weather continues.

Jo Ann, I just pulled it up in the database under 'Iris George'. It won't come up with the 'reticulata' added to the search. I don't know why but I'm not an Iris expert.

I also get it searching for "Iris George"

Karen

Thanks I will add the images.

HMMMMMMM I noticed I had an image there already. So must be I orgot it was already listed.

crocus next to the house are in flower. I would think that heat is bouncing off the house.

I dont care how they bloom ,just bloom.It's so cheering to see the little yellow Coat of Gold.

Oh my! This wind is absolutely awful today! I had a plant rack crash over inside my plant house! Argggg! At least the structure is still there; for now, anyway...

I was going to move a leaf pile today.....no way; I want those leaves. If they weren't covered with a weighted tarp they'd be gone already!

Photography??? Nope. Tried that this morning...all I can do is laugh, and hope it goes away soon! It's wearing me out.

One of those shiny mylar balloons blew into the garden from points unknown this morning; got hung up in a tree, and an hour later it was gone again!

Thanks for the mesh bag idea Janice. These crocus are fast ones LOL You get a flower for two
days then gone I think Im going to dig a few this wekend , see how they do. We
are moving May-August...Dont really know yet. Selling our house and hopefully have another
one to go to in RI soon . So at least I can start moving Stuff and plants when we go up in May

Wow, Chelle, that wind sounds fierce!

Sure hope the plant house and all contents are fine.

You are so welcome, Shannon.

Exciting to move your garden.

Thanks, Janice.

They were just sprouted seedlings - I've lost some, but I can start more.

The 'house is still up...

Glad the house is up, Chelle!!.

Can I send you some seeds?
