First Flower of 2011

Snow Drops

 

 

I planted a Witch Hazel which is supposed to bloom early and smell nice, but it hasn't so it doesn't. And my cyclamen from last fall never bloomed either, the Meyers lemon has never shown the slightest hint of a bud and the main plant of our hardy banana ain't so hardy, in fact it's dead. I hope this isn't a harbinger for the year ahead. And now for some obligatory "OMG look at how much snow I have" pictures. Lilac Corner unimproved

 

Lilac Corner improving

 

Lilac Corner some snow

 

Lilac Corner with lots of snow. The blue tubs are there somewhere. If we had had more snow I don't know where we would have put it.
