Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 9
It’s been warm, feeling like spring. The snow finished melting off my white lentin roses (hellebores), and apparently they were even more ready to bloom than the fancy red one up front that’s still working on its buds. All of the sudden, pretty spring flowers!
Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years doesn’t corroborate the lentin-rose phenomenon, but does agree that hens-and-chicks and maybe some other little things do start peeking out around now.
Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years finally does show my pretty lentin roses again – maybe they’re a titch early this year? It also reminds that spring snow flurries are a thing, and also that it’s time to keep an eye out for emerging tulip buds.
…This week my garden is offering several sneaky and also not-so-sneaky promises of spring.
