Re: Lonicera fragrantissima and what else is blooming...

I know many of you have snow- that's why I thought I'd let you know that there are still some things blooming in the world! It is supposed to pour down rain for the next few days, otherwise I'd go take pics to post for you all.

Belooming outside now??? Nothing!
I have about 8-9 inches of snow, sub zero temps and you want to know what is blooming... LOL! Donna

I think the plants that bloom when nothing else is are some of my favorites. Right now I have some type of narcissus, an insane azalea (it has decided to bloom a few buds year round rather than in one spring flourish), fuschia, anemone, some tagetes shrub variety that I can't recall, winter sweet, mahonia "Arthur Menzies" (finally blooming for the first time), primulas, and another shrub with pale blue flowers whose name I'm also blanking on right now. I ate one of my now ripe Minneola tangelos from my tree. Yummmm- it was so good! I have about 8 more fruit so I'm happy about that. And next year I'll make sure it gets enough water right from the start so that I don't loose so much fruit like I did this year. Zem- my Hellebores aren't doing a thing this year- so hope yours perform well for you.

I keep forgetting to tell you all that I recently noticed my winter
honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima) is blooming. I never even remember I
have it until it blooms. What a fragrant reminder that spring will come
again! I do love this old fashioned shrub. I got mine from suckers at an
abandoned homestead nearby. It's got to be one of the easiest plants to grow
since it requires absolutely no care. I also checked out the Hellebores, and
they have doubled in size with lots of new growth. I'm expecting blooms on
them in the next few weeks.
