Inside the greenhouse, the beautiful pink flowers

Inside the greenhouse, the beautiful pink flowers of Pandorea jasminoides, or Bower Vine, are beginning their spring exuberance even after I hacked the poor plant back a few weeks ago. This plant is not hardy in Massachusetts so it stays in the cool greenhouse all winter. After the frost danger is over, I move it outside to bloom it’s little head off till the fall. It is an exuberant plant that needs something tall to twine itself around.

Blooming in the greenhouse right now: Ornithogalu

Blooming in the greenhouse right now: Ornithogalum dubium, or Sun Star. I got this last year from Trader Joe’s and put it in a clay pot after flowering. Like many bulbs from South Africa, it blooms in late winter/ early spring and then goes dormant with the heat of summer. Let leaves die down naturally, then keep dry over summer. When leaves are visible again in late fall/winter, begin light watering again.

We are dealing with another blast of winter outside, but in the greenhouse is warm and sunny. This Rhipsalis pilocarpa is loving it!

Spring is just around the corner in New England when the snowdrops start pushing up out of the barely-thawed earth. Of course the first ones in my yard are the ones planted over the septic tank 🤣🤣🤣
