Thanks for the compliment on the Uvularia
article. Enjoyed doing that one. One of my favorite early spring perennials...
especially combined with Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia). Can't beat the blue,
pink and yellow combination. Foliage is pretty decent combo as well.
Spring is finally arriving
here as well. We re forecast warm rains and temps up to about 70 by mid week.
That sure will make things pop. Hellebore are in full glory. Primula rosea
looks like little neon lights of bright rose-red. Daffodils in the lawn are
all in bloom. With the cool (cold) spring we have had this year, I think all
the colors are much deeper and more intense on all the blooms thus far this
spring.

Reading your
frustrations at the weather certainly struck a familiar cord
this side of
the Atlantic, this must have been the longest, wettest, most
overcast,
depressing winters I have ever known!
BUT !!!!!
We have just had 4
consequetive days when it didn't rain, well only drizzle,
and some SUN, it
makes so much difference, the daffs are out, primroses,
Violets and wood
anemone, and you get this great surge of enthusiasm youself,
which is just
as well as you see the thirty-six jobs that need doing
yesterday, but who
cares, it just makes your heart glad.
I hope you don't have too long to
wait for your spring!
and Gene I enjoyed your piece in NARGS bulletin on
Uvularia's I am hoping for
some from seed recently sown.
