Gotta love a good storm, blizzard warnings, two feet of snow predicted over the next 24 hours. Sunrise was a sickly orange, it was -4F. I had a quick peek in the greenhouse last night and the first Tecophilea is in bloom along with Lapeirousia oreogena, Narcissus bulbicodiums, Iris reticulata and Crocus corsicus. Massonia depressa and Androcymbium ciliolatum are next to each other, a malty, musky, rancid odor. After I bring in firewood, there is seed to sow from NARGS and Northwest Native Seed.
