Re: Northern Blooms

Just noticed today that one of my hellebores is covered with buds. The other three are just sitting there. If these warm temps last much longer I'll have all sorts of things forming buds, which of course will result in not having any blooms at all in the spring.

I don't expect to see snow crocus for a couple of months in ne IN and
saffron crocus bloomed here in September. Blooming together in January
seems odd to me. Too early for my Hellebores to bloom.

An update on the outdoor garden in central Indiana:

My snow crocus and saffron are up. No flowers on either. The saffron have
been up for several months but the snow crocus growth is new.

The China Rose did bloom under the snow! It now has some new buds that are
swelling.

I see lots of new growth coming up on my perennials and my roses still
have

green leaves for the most part!

My Hellebores are not blooming. This must be because of moving them so

late
in the year. Last year they began blooming in December and continued until
about May I think.

My Heathers have a few blooms and the pansies are blooming.

The Daphne's are not looking real good but I seem to remember this is
normal. My Briggs Moonlight foliage is mush but the Carol Mackie foliage
looks ok although it is a little sparse and I do not see any signs of
buds.

I think Somerset did not survive the move. I have some seeds of some but
darn if I can get them to germinate!

The Iris is growing and so is most of the dianthus that I planted as well

as

numerous perennials that I see new growth coming up on.

I didn't see much else happening besides my lettuce and radish are still
doing fine. The peas look a bit questionable but we will see. Oh and a
cabbage I left in the ground has new growth!
