Dear Kathleen and all,
I have a fenced yard, but only about 4 ft in most places and
deer get in as they wish. Yes some Juno do get eaten to the ground,
but so far 'Sindpers' has not been eaten and today a deep blue I
aucheri opened near by. The deer have eaten a bunch of I wilmottiana
this spring and a few magnifica. They usually jump back in a year or
so.
And my Odd Crocus tommasinianus: I had a better look and it
is a perfect flower in flower double, but each flower has only 5
petals, so maybe not quite so 'perfect' since it should have 6 petals
each. Mine is more 'star in star'. I'll mark it for next year.
And Frtiillarias are popping up including the F. persica I
divided and moved last fall.
With a week of frost free nights forecast, and the coming
solstice, spring is here.
HAPPY SPRING ALL Jim W.
