Good morning, my first visit to your site. I really enjoyed seeing your unusual varieties. Your photos are beautiful and I will be sure to stop by regularly to see what is blooming in your garden. It has been very cold here also. I held out my annuals until this week for fear they would be frosted.

Honey bees pollinate IN your garden? Lucky… I don't know where mine go, probably hang out under 295 to smoke cigarettes….
Anyway, I usually pollinate my citrus by hand with an ear swab- they start blooming in February and March at my house.

Such an exciting time in our gardens! I'll seek out R. fragrantissimum as it looks wonderful and fragrant plants are always welcome. I fell in love with R. polyandrum's fragrance at a local grower/nursery last year but it sounds like R. fragrantissimum is a bit hardier. Happy Spring!

Dear Matt
Thank you for the pix of P pleianthemum. Mine are far from blooming size so I was curious about their appearance.

So true about the different stages of spring! Here in the Boston suburbs it has felt almost like summer for the past two weeks and the plants look accordingly, but when we went to Chatham on the cape last weekend it felt like going back a month in time, since it was so much cooler and everything still quite bare.

Lucky, I'm infested with lily beetles.
