Despite being exposed early when the weather damaged its covering leaves this Muscari is developing beautiful blue and yellow buds. With the Crocuses these are my early nearly spring warning flowers!
The Ghostly Gardener had planted these in the big blue ceramic pot. Multiple spring bulbs have grown but I need to identify them once they develop flowers.
The garden looked okay this morning after eighty mile hour winds battered Wakefield and the north of England. The garden birds have been out in force this morning as I drank my last coffee before bed. Two more nights to go before I can garden again.
Its the first of March. My namesakes Saints day, patron saint of Wales.

Grape hyacinths growing through the tiny cracks between the pavement of my driveway and the pavers that line it. These are "escapees" from the badly maintained (by my non-gardening neighbors) border along my driveway.

The Easter Bunny came in the cold and left quite a few eggs in the back yard, including this green plastic egg next to some frozen Grape Hyacinth. I think the Grape Hyacinth look much brighter than normal in their frozen state, don't you? Oh, and thank you for not noticing or mentioning all that grass growing in there with them. Tsk, tsk, I do have some work to do in that flower bed!
We think all the hunters found all the eggs in "the big hunt", but any left hidden are mine to keep if I find them. And some of those eggs had money in them! I hope to find any that were left hidden before the garden fairies do. Who knows what the garden fairies might do if they got a hold of some actual money to spend!

Muscari aka grape hyacinths are strange little members of the spring-blooming bulbs. Strange, because unlike tulips or daffodils or crocuses, they like to poke up little green fingers in the fall, to get a head start on stocking energy. . . .

I planted my first bulbs last fall – tulips, crocus, daffodil, and muscari. I was surprised to see the muscari foliage
emerge the following January. I was even more surprised to see it pop up again at the end of this August. A bit of research revealed that muscari commonly send up fall foliage that will persist over the winter and into the spring. Last year’s leaves were actually “late.” I will be interested to see how the foliage weathers the winter.

Is this an inspired combination or what? Blacker than midnight grape hyacinths and a bronze grass (help me out here people with the Latin name!), set against the backdrop of a lichen-embroidered classic stone urn. I snapped this in the gardens of Somerleyton Hall, Norfolk, also home to a very fine yew maze. I'd wondered if it would have looked even better with black mondo grass, but maybe that would be overdoing the goth look...

The last few days have been beautiful; the week started as any week should with a relaxing Sunday. Winter seemed to disappear sometime between midnight and the dawn of a day I can’t remember. All of Texas seemed cheerful with the new sun, and so was I as I decided to take a walk in the back property and catch up on some long overdue reading. In fact, it was so pleasant I took my shirt off to soak up as much of the day as possible. . .

And I love having planted so many bulbs in winter that are now blooming or threatening to. Out in the front bed, my freesia are blooming, which I'm really excited about. I love the shape of the freesia bloom stalk; that lovely arch of blooms.
Yummy pictures of her spring garden. Take a look!
