In the greenhouse: Babiana villosa Ornithogalum dubium Veltheimia bracteata Dorstenia barnimiana (a fig pretending to be a cyclamen) After some sunny days that warmed up the greenhouse nicely, winter growing bulbs are starting to go dormant, and some summer growers are starting to wake up. Spring-blooming orchids and pachypodiums are also initiating inflorescences Outside: "Home Depot" daffodil hybrids are starting to bloom, a full month later than last year. They'll probably be squashed by ice tonight. Nick Plummer Durham, NC, Zone 7
