Romulea bulbocodiumThe first Romulea to bloom this winter , is R. bulbocodium . grow from semen , they we ’re surprsingly easy . The Narth American Rock Garden Society seed exchange often provide many species , and I was inspired by fellow gardener Roy Herald to test some , besides , he shared a decent collection which he started from NARGS seeded player . Now , I ca n’t seem to get enough of these South African corms . The Brit ’s grow them for expo in bulb pan , and they make an extraordianry disply when grow tightly , but some of the images that I find on line , specially some brilliant specimens grown by Jim Almond in the UK , show that one probable must pot a few hundren corm in a pot to get a decorous show . I have four . But at least , all four flower this class , and are slowly divide , since I take up with two last class !

The gloss is a nice grape - soda water purpleness , but seems to be impossible to shoot well , either because of my television camera setting , or the winter luminousness , or maybe both .
At least the heating broadside for the nursery have been infrequent . With all of the lecture in the news , about the snows in the westerly US , and our book warmth in the due east , we ’ve likely had enough of the prognastication . Today , it became cold-blooded . So stale , that the glass on the nursery frost over . In distinctive days , I bubblewrap the glass , but this class , since I was traveling the intact calendar month of October , I missed my deadline for wrapping it . Now , I will take my chances that it will go forward to be moderately inhuman . Narcissus romieuxii Ex ‘ Julia Jane ’ in dwelling house made potThis calendar week , I can focus on this blog again , at least for a few sidereal day , since the first holograph for my book was sent to my editor program , which give mee a weekend to breath , but only a chip , because my job is heating up with other deadline due next week . Oh how I wish I had clock time to act upon on pottery , a gardening Word of God maybe , and other projects , but then again , I lvoe my daytime line , but it is does take in up metre and energy . When I look at achievement this preceding year , originative channelise four DVD ’s for Paramount Home Entertainment , a musical touring stage show for My Little Pony LIVE , write a book on blueprint , concepting a few feature film concepts , editor for the PRimrose Journal ( which I have had to cut back on ) , and this web log , I think there is no wonder why I have little time . Why is it that as we get older , time and becomes so cherished ? Oh yeah , my book is a design / initiation volume , for graphical graphic designer and vendor , on purpose trends and influence , not a horticulture book – the later will come someday , perhaps .
A Draba Lasiocarpa , from seed , test a few blossoms in the alpine house . This high elevation alpine is in the lettuce / mustard family , and when you wait at it ’s cruiciform blossom , you could clearly see the connection . This is one family where the flowers generally look the same , it ’s the plant itself whose feature fix it .
