Garden blogger bloom day scans

I couldn’t bear to do another somber ‘seeds and twigs’ scan. Needed some color instead. So I went with the African violets and some late-forced bulbs.

Supersized.

I really wasn’t all that excited about the bulb scans. But you can bet that sometime this summer I’ll plop some yellow flowers down on the background.

  1. Lovely color. I am feeling that end of winter hunger for color. Happy Valentines day and Bloom day too.

  2. Hey Chuck:

    It wasn’t there the first time you looked. I was just thinking this last week that I wished I’d started a category for the bloom day scans. Well I broke down tonight and took 15 minutes to create it and flag all those posts. Thanks for nudging me to action. It’s here: http://www.remarc.com/craig/?cat=55

    Really enjoyed your scans. I keep telling everyone that it’s like the Asian board game (whose name escapes me now) that has the tagline, A moment to learn, a lifetime to master.

  3. Hiya Craig,

    I was banished outside for my ‘scans’. And they are twigs and seeds 😉

    Multiplying that Saintpaulia makes it go a long way. They look edible. Daren’t enlarge for fear they will engulf me. Vry striking indeed. I look forward to the red tulip season.

    BTW, would you be able to tell me why variegated Pittosporum is winter hardy and the green varieties aren’t? I would have thought it would be the reverse.

  4. One word…well maybe more! Delightful…I want a headboard to lean against while reading myself to sleep of that fantastic purple! gail
