Whats blooming after Easter

I had thought I would get a happy Easter post on here but time just flew on by and soon the day was done. I've been working in my garden like mad since this Virus has us all cooped up. A big thank you to a very generous friend who brought me some great annuals from her wholesale outfit and also did some personal shopping, I'm super excited about my updated rock garden and I've been playing around with displaying some of the different potted bulbs buried in the garden to make a very unique changeable display.

So here is a quick peak at what is blooming as we move past Easter. 

Fritillaria agrestis
In pots in the greenhouse this can be in bloom as early as Feb. but the ones in the raised beds are just opening now. 

Fritillaria purdyi x biflora

Fritillaria strybrni

Fritillaria liliacea

The rock garden with some expanded beds for planting annuals out, Thanks to my
Good friend Joleen for helping put together what should be a wonderful summer display!

Hopefully everyone is staying healthy and safe, i'm looking forward to this thing getting behind us and some return to a sense of normalcy. While I have been following the rules and getting a ton of work done in isolation in my garden, it's nice to have someone to share the effort with!

The sun is back in full force, while it threatened to frost this morning with lows down to 34 F. It looks like we are in for warm and sunny through this whole week. Note to self, I'm usually never frost free until after tax day and there was that one year where I got into the 20's in Late April and it knocked back a bunch of stuff.

cheers,

Mark
