It finally bloomed!

FFE Red Impression Darwin Tulip -- morning (closed) to afternoon (opened)

You have blooms

Yes ma'am!! Oh yes -- here's Fondant Hyacinth. Doesn't have a lot of blooms but it's better than the critters getting to it

Not cheating Longk! You are lucky to have a greenhouse! I'm jealous and I love lewisia! I haven't seen a white one like that over here. Very pretty!

How exciting to have your first tulip, Jackie and I'm sure that hyacinth smells great!

Waiting for the next snow storm.
Jackie, do you have animals eat your hyacinth? It is supposed to be poisonous. I've had them dug up but nothing ever ate them or took the flowers on that one.
Here are a few blooming.

Some more.

Loving the blooms Loretta

Aw shucks, thanks!

Wow Loretta your Hellebore are flowering, a couple of mine were just starting to break ground before the last storm. We still have about a foot of snow on the ground and are supposed to get up to 16 inches tomorrow, so I do not think I will be seeing mine for quite awhile.

Hang in there Bob.

Bob, that is my most developed hellebore and the only open one. Not even H. foetidus is open yet. I cut them all back just a few weeks ago so most are bare. In the last pic, you can see some seedlings coming up. There are two with seedlings. I'm wondering which varieties they are because I haven't really seen any seeding on the named orientals.

YES Loretta -- the little critters (or maybe big ones?) were munching on them and the crocus like crazy! I covered them nightly until my fiance sprayed Plantskyyd and that seems to have kept them off the daylilies and the hyacinths!

I guess nothing is safe. Crocuses are a delicacy here too - bulbs and tops. As for daylilies, my house came with the orange ditch lilies and as nice as they are, they spread and orange doesn't really go with those violetish-white hosta flowers that bloom at the same time. I tried to get something interested in them, even left some tubers above ground but no takers. I read they are edible for humans. Maybe I should try.

I'm thinking our critters think that when I plant things it's a regular smorgasbord for them

I haven't had any problems with critters and my Hyacinths. Mine are a couple inches above ground. Nothing bothering the few crocus that I have.

the tulips are blooming!!

Nice! Lots of buds!

Yes and they're all coming inside tomorrow after I take a stunning picture

Really! That will be a beautiful bouquet. I should do that more. Do you usually grow them as cut flowers or are you trying to beat the critters to the punch?
More snow tonight. Everything is buried again except the witch hazel.
