First Signs of Spring, Blooming Crocus and Snowdrops

I apologize for not posting very much I have been very busy. However here are some pics I took yesterday of the first spring flowers of the season. This crocus and snowdrops are the first signs that spring is just around the corner.

Ox Blood and Red Spider Lilies

      With the fall rains upon us the Ox Blood Lilies(aka School house lilies) and Red Spider Lilies (aka Hurricane & Magic Lilies) have began to bloom. The Ox Blood lilies came up next to some potted Agave americana and the Red Spider lilies sprouted out from under a red chrysanthemum.

 

Spring Flowers-Tulips and Hellebores

Here are a few more Tulips and Hellebores this time.

Spring Flowers-Daffodils

I took a crap load of pics yesterday of the flowers in my garden, just thought I would share, enjoy :)

Spring is Almost Here!!!!!

Spring is almost here!!!! Took this picture yesterday of some Crocuses blooming in my garden, please ignore the weeds, lol.

Amaryllis Hercules, Bogota, La Paz, Chico, Aphrodite, Papilio

I thought I would Share with you more of my Amaryllis's in blooms in order Hercules, La Paz, Aphrodite, Papilio, Bogota, and Chico.

Amaryllis, La Paz & Hercules

Two more Amaryllis(Hippeastrum)have bloomed today the large pink one is "Hercules" and the small star shaped Cybister amaryllis is "Laz Paz".

More Amaryllis Blooms

My Amaryllis's are blooming out more so I thought I would share some more pics. I am a bit disappointed that they did not turn out to be "Minerva" and "Red Lion",

they look nothing like the pictures on the boxes, but they are still beautiful.

Thanksgiving Amaryllis Blooms

Some of my Amaryllis bloomed today, what a nice Thanksgiving surprise, in more than one way. The Large one in bloom in the first photo(and second) was supposed to be "Minerva" but it seems its probably something else because it does not have a white throat. Maybe a "Red Lion"? not sure yet. The one on the right in bloom in the the first photo is a "Red Lion". Oh well I recently started an Amaryllis collection going to try my hand at Hybridization. I have 20 different varieties and probably won't be getting any more because of lack of space. Well I say that now anyway, lol. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!! May you all have a blessed day!!!

First Flowers of Spring

I noticed today the first spring blooms in my garden. The Crocus, Hellebores, and some of the Daffodils are in bloom. This is a sure sign that spring is on it's way, makes me so happy I can soon be in the garden more as the warm weather kicks in and the days get longer.
