Back from the dormant state


This Colchicum almost always hits Valentines day on the money. This year it's two weeks early. Too early to get scared but early enough to worry, this is a weird weather year. Mostly average temperature but more rain in December?


Narcissus romieuxii "Julia Jane" is early this year too!

Rather warm the last few days, I think it reached 60 yesterday and rain fell hard this morning.

Cheers,
Mark Akimoff
