Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – April 2021

April 15, 2021 By Carol 25 Comments

Welcome to Garden Blogger's Bloom Day for April 2021. Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, we'll begin with my obsession of spring -- the violas, pansies, and violets. This particular pansy is a 'Frizzle Sizzle' which is my new favorite variety. I love the ruffles, the distinctive markings, the faces! And yes, I am one of "those gardeners" who lets the wild violets go wild in her garden. Is that all the Viola sp.? No, that's not all! At the local … [Read more...] about Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – April 2021

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – March 2021

March 15, 2021 By Carol 18 Comments

Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for March 2021. Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, the first daffodils are blooming. This particular one is 'Tete de Tete', a reliable, early blooming miniature daffodil. It isn't much more than four inches tall, if that. But before there were daffodils, there were little irises. This one is Iris histrioides 'Lady Beatrix Stanley', sometimes referred to as Iris reticulata. I have a lot of unnamed varieties of … [Read more...] about Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – March 2021

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – February 2021

February 15, 2021 By Carol 10 Comments

Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for February 2021. Here in my USDA Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, it is currently 7ºF, which is -14ºC. There is some snow on the ground, but it is a patchy bit of snow covered with a thin coating of a light snow that fell overnight. "Fell" isn't probably the best way to describe how that particular bit of snow landed on the ground. "Floated down" might be better. Beginning Sunday evening (Feb. 14th), more snow should fall so that by Tuesday … [Read more...] about Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – February 2021

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – December 2020

December 15, 2020 By Carol 19 Comments

Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for December 2020. Here in my USDA Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, I went out to the garden expecting to find flower buds on the hellebores, and I was not disappointed. Indeed there are flower buds on several of the Helleborus niger, the Christmas Rose. Weather permitting and cooperating, I think they will actually be in bloom on Christmas Day. What I did not expect to find was a snowdrop, Galanthus sp., in bloom. Yes, I am aware of … [Read more...] about Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – December 2020
