| New growth on Picea abies 'Mucronata' |
Can someone explain why during the mildest Wisconsin winter since 1932, I am so homesick for the spring gardens? I suspect it's a perpetual case of spring fever... one simply can't get resigned to the fact that winter is here... on every turn there is a promise of the coming of spring. Helebores are budded, witch hazels are showing color... and I am constantly ordering plants as never before. After all, it's only February. We are blessed that at least the temps are before the freezing mark most nights... the last thing this garden needs is swollen magnolia buds struck down by a sudden cold spell.
The pictures today are of things that I anticipate each season... the new growth of conifers, flowering trees in bloom, hellebore blossoms... I must resign myself in the fact that I have no control over any of these things and will appreciate them for however they perform in this very strange year. Larry
