Drenching Rains of Early March

Fritillaria montana

Just another torrential downpour of a weekend, Feels like we got a solid 3" this weekend, the ditches are full. I think the water drops on the F. montana kind of say it all, it's been really wet.

Narcissus rupicola
Despite the weather, a few bulbs are still shining on, these are the tough ones you want to look for on the yearly list if you want some solid performers no matter what the weather throws at them.


Fritillaria kotschyanus

I for one am hoping for round of decent weather coming through at some point, forecast says some sun might show up later this week. Fingers crossed.


Cheers,
Mark
