2014 is in the books.


My Narcissus cantabricus ssp. foliosus has something going on it was cold and this one seems to be pinching flowers off. I can live with it if its frost.



The iris don't seem to mind.

I have to apologize, the app on the phone makes these posts much easier since I can just stroll through the greenhouse and throw up an entry. But I know the photo quality isn't there so I'm gonna make a resolution to do more actual photography in 2015!

Finally out of a week long cold snap with lows around 16. Balmy 52 out now, snow level is like 9000'.

Cheers,
Mark
