The Deciduous Azaleas are in the midst of a spectacular blooming season at the moment!  We got some really good pictures the other day of the different varieties we carry, and thought you might want to take a look.

The warmer weather has really accelerated plant growth and development, and we are well on our way to the late spring and summer blooming season.  We will now also be adding plants with interesting foliage to the “What’s Blooming” feature, as some plants have amazing seasonal foliage that deserves a closer look!

The past few days have been the warmest since last September, and the spring bloom has gone into high gear.   There are so many plants blooming right now that we simply don’t have room to post all of them!   Here are some of the highlights from a trip around the nursery yesterday:

The weather has been beautiful for the past few days, and the plants are definitely responding!  Flowering Plums, Pears, and early flowering Cherries are bursting into bloom, as well as many shrubs and perennials.  Here are some of the highlights from the past few days:

We all have the best of intentions to get spring-blooming bulbs planted in the fall, like we are told…..  However, sometimes the best laid plans just don’t work out.  If that happened to you this year, we’ve got you covered!   We’ve got a great variety of spring bulbs blooming right now – quite a festive sight out there!  There are several types of tulips and narcissus (daffodils), as well as fragrant hyacinths; muscari (grape hyacinth); cute little dwarf iris; checkerboard fritillaria; bright crocus; and a variety of colors of anemone and ranunculus.  Nothing says “Spring!” like these little beauties, so resolve two things:  tuck a few of these into spots in your garden now, and mark your September calendar for bulb planting! 

We’re on the verge of the “big show”, and we’re really starting to see some plant growth.  Buds are swelling, and we’ll be experiencing the full magnificence of spring really soon!  In the meantime, here are a few things that we caught blooming around the nursery today…
