What a difference.....

Dear Friends,
What a difference a day or two of 60 degrees can make. After
reporting a paucity of bloom just 2 days ago, the garden today has
hundreds of crocus, Galanthus, Eranthis and buds are swelling
mightily. I was shocked to find a fully open flower and a 2nd bud on
Galanthus elwesii 'Rosemary Burnham' a cv which I don't think has
ever bloomed for me during its years of residence. The plant and
flower are small, the flowers a cool green so it may easily have
skipped my notice.

The forecast still shows nights in the 20s and a dip into the
teens so there's a halt in exuberance on its way, but right now the
sun is shining and a light shirt does not DEMAND a heavy jacket
outdoors.

Surely spring is on its way. Anticipating.
Jim W.
