Dear Friends, With continued unseasonably warm temps the first Leucojum vernum ssp carpaticum are up and blooming. These often emerge from the ground with the flower in the foremost. A ring of self sown seedlings are also blooming and foliage is also emerging. This is very early even for these early spring bloomers. Also emerging are L. 'Gertrude Wister' also flower first, yet not quite open. Is is spring ? Best Jim W. ps L. aestivum is also stirring, but won't bloom for a while as it always blooms well after L. vernum. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
