A Canna Blooming in my Sun Room



The daffs, a few Lenten Roses, pulmonaria and some early Kaufmanniana tulips--that's about it for color so far this Spring, but the cannas which I retrieved from M's yard waste can last November have come back to bloom again, a happy bit of yellow which I am anxious to get in the ground or a larger pot soon. But freezing night temps are predicted again this week and patience must prevail.

Amaryllis Blooms Again



Once again, the Amaryllis bloomed in April, blooming with one stalk, in triplicate. I did repot it last winter with a slightly larger pot. The first bloom happened while I was in NYC, first seen on April 6. This photo was taken on April 12. No second stalk evident so far, but again the bloom was very tall and striking.
