What’s Blooming Now

These potted Gerbera daisies were planted last spring. I didn’t think they would come back, but just in case, I placed them in my greenhouse for the winter, and except for weekly watering, I pretty much ignored them. Lo and behold they came back!

All of these photos were taken this past Friday, March 27. With six weeks of constant rain mixed with freezing temperatures, there hasn’t been an ideal opportunity to photograph anything in my gardens until now. Sadly, because of this bad weather mix, a lot of the late winter bloomers have long passed their photogenic hour. This round of photos showcases current individual bloomers, because the rest of the perennials are just now beginning to emerge. Photographing the entire garden will happen some time in late June or early July.
