I have Christmas and spring together!
Feb. 10th, 2014 11:13 pmThe Schlumbergera are still blooming, and I have a batch of springerle half baked, half waiting to be molded with my new 12-days-of-Christmas molds (days 2-4, a gift from my kid). That's Christmas.
This morning I saw the first Hippeastrum scape of the year, from the Class of 2011a, Trader Joes x Gervase. Also the first leaf shoot from the Class of 2011b, papilio x chico.
And there was a Flower Show tour guide meeting.
In other news. a foot of snow is forecast for Thursday. That will play havoc with a meeting we have scheduled. There's been a lot of that this winter.
UPDATE: Today, February 11, I noted that H. 'gervase' has a flower scape peeking out from the bulb. So I will have at least two blooming this year.
