Dear Lee, I don't know if I speak for everyone on the list but I for one would love to see some pictures of your flowers. Here in Boston, where we had yet MORE SNOW, I am desperate to see some color and sign of life growing and flowering. Warm Regards, Fred Biasella ....From very cold Boston and deeply buried in snow!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org]On Behalf Of Cynthia Mueller Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 10:01 AM To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org Subject: Re: [pbs] Blooming in my garden Dear Lee, Congratulations on flowering your Paramongaia! The narcissus you mention are far from flowering here in Central Texas yet, S. peruviana has good leaves but no flower stalks. Oxalis is up, ipheion getting ready, grape hyacinth poised to flower. Narcissus papyraceus, italicus, and double and single Chinese Sacred Lily have finished - now the Twin Sisters are beginning. Leucojum half up. Cynthia Mueller >>> wpoulsen@pacbell.net 01/27/05 1:28 AM >>> After reading Mary Sue's list I decided to survey my plants this past weekend to see what was in bloom and report. At first I thought only a few things were in flower but there were more than I expected. Here is what is blooming right now at my house: Paramongaia weberbaueri Lachenalia bulbifera, aloides 'Pearsonii', aloides quadricolor, aloides, mutabilis, "Yellow" bulbifera, splendida Oxalis obtusa 'MV5005A', sp. 'Winter Blooming #1', purpurea, glabra, regnelii 'Frances' Scadoxus puniceus 'Magnificum' Roman Hyacinth - blue Gladiolus priorii Narcissus bulbocodium monophyllus Narcissus 'Avalanche of Gold', 'Campernelle', 'Erlicheer', 'St. Keverne', 'Orange Frilled', 'Castanets' Nothoscordum selloweianum, dialystemon, Ipheion sessile Scilla peruvianum, greilhuberi Calochortus 'Cupido' Crocus tommasinianus 'Roseus' Muscari macrocarpum Phaedranassa chloracra Pelargonium sidoides - black flowered Cyrtanthus obrienii, brachyscyphus Daphne odorata Veltheimia bracteata - pink, 'Bicolour', and 'Lemon Flame' Clivia x cyrtanthiflora and very soon (I saw buds this morning) there will be Clivia miniata - orange, 'Victorian Peach', and yellow, as well as Tecophilaea cyanocrocus vars. pure blue, leitchtlinii, and violacea. Most of these are only just now opening their first blooms. The Lachenalias and Oxalis have been in bloom a while and are the most spectacular at this time. --Lee Poulsen Pasadena area, California, USDA Zone 9-10 _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php
