Gardendaze

Since I was posting about other things in January, I really haven’t had an opportunity to post about gardening at all.

These are my hyacinths that I started forcing Thanksgiving weekend. They’re now all beginning to open (the lack of color in the leaves is because I just brought them up from the dark basement).

Here’s one of the purple ones already open

And then there are the amaryllis. This is Charisma.

And this is Amadeus.

To me, these all make up for the indignities of winter–almost.
