Spring is a little late this year, but there are
some early flowers out now. The earliest is the Helleborus "Royal Heritage",
that bloomed for the first time this year. It is purple, with darker veins.
Also blooming are the February Gold
daffodils, which have been out for two
weeks.
Larger, and a about a week later isthe
daffodil Sun Disc
The iris dadiae, planted in planters
are just now blooming.
Colorful all winter is Nandina
"Compacta", which stays small and turns a brilliant red in the fall and remains
red all
winter.
