the golden crocuses were the first ones up this year. I need more of them. They are so bright,
Daffodils along the driveway have buds. We had a few sunny, warm days since then and the daffodils are in flower.
February 9th was one of the warmer days. There were bees! I was looking at Canadian Wildlife Federation page and discovered other pollinators that look a lot like bees. And there are the mason bees, too. Everyone knows the bumble bee, of course. It is a solitary bee, no hive. I made a discussion thread about this on Megashot, in the "
in the garden' community. Hope you can get this link: http://www.megashot.net/mega/ms-full-comm_forum-details.php?keythread=a6b62028e5a270cafb1e2b1b3da8ecd5&threadval=b77a1f5a20049ec284491a53741d1991&forumthreadId=26&forumkeyId=632
the flying bee.
yet another bee.
When the Hydro workers finished with the work on the new pole, they had a landscaping company fill in the ruts where the traffic had run over the boulevard that I keep in grass. Just up from the new soil is the crocus field. More photos of it in full bloom as of today... later.
there was a outstanding sunset on Feb 9th too.
I started the repotting of the house plants today. It took me 2 hours to do 4 of the orchids. They were in need of new media. I had last done them 2 years ago. They had arial roots shooting out of the pots, so maybe I will need to repot every year. I have the Pixie Cat. in a huge pink pot. For the size of the plant, it is actually not that big of a pot. Hope it blooms again in a few months. The pot is almost the same color as the blooms. It is now too tall to fit on the light garden. I think it will be fine beside the lights.
