March 4th-The Winter that wouldn't Show its Face.

My seed grown Fritillaria affinis from the Rogue River.

This plant always takes me back about 8 years. I hiked the 30 miles from Graves Creek to Foster Bar with my old brother in law. Found some seed pods somewhere between Paradise and Mule Creek Canyon.

Seems to be a good strong grower, now that it has matured


Loving these primroses from last years NARGS seed EX.

I've been collecting the primroses because I'm putting in an actual rock garden this year, pond feature and I'm gonna work on some really cool boggy areas to feature sprawling primrose beds with bulbs above on the rock features! Now I just have to win the lottery to make it happen.

Sunny, highs in the 60's, supposed to be in the 70's this weekend... no winter this year.

Cheers,
Mark
