This is Bonfire Patio Peach. The first picture was taken a week ago and the second and third were taken on Monday. I will take more when they leaf out, the leaves are long and narrow and look amazing with the flowers.


It is hard to pass up taking pictures of Pear in full bloom, so here they are:




The Jane Magnolias got a little too cold, but the newer buds look beautiful, I love the rich colors when they first start to open.





I think the last for today will be brand new Red Buckeye Leaves and some more Maple flowers, enjoy.

We have had a lot of product coming in, but I thought I would concentrate on flowers that are blooming right now in the nursery.



This is Royal Heritage Strain Helleborus finally blooming in the house.




The Show-Off Forsythia is in full bloom and stunning.



It seems like every time we get Henry Lauders they are in full bloom with pollen flying, it's not too fun to tag, but awesome to look at.





Hakuro Nishiki Willow has inconspicuous flowers, but I love their form. It is officially spring when these start to bloom no matter what the calendar says!




Not technically flowers, the cones of Fairview Yew are abundant and very attractive with the dark green leaves.





The blooms of Pink Dawn Viburnum are beautiful and VERY fragrant. They are in a house and you can smell them well before you walk in the door.



Cleveland Select Pear. They are just getting started and got a little nipped from that cold snap last week. Very pretty.

Hopefully I will be able to get some of the other pictures of green things up soon.

Thank goodness for some green

We had a few warm days and the plants are starting to green up a little. This is what the Pink Drift Roses in the hoop house look like this week, even with the cold.







This is an example of rabbit damage on Burning Bush. The white spots along the stem are chew marks where new buds should be. I think the plants will still be ok, they will just take a little longer to leaf out.


This is what they should look like at this time of year, full of buds and ready to leaf out.



Finally, this is a photo of one of my favorite spring flowers....


Maples. If you look out over the tree blocks when the sun is shining, you can see the red showing up. It looks especially nice against a bright blue sky.
