Flowers and Foliage Now / Re: March in the Northern Hemisphere

In our back yard Erythronium oregonum is coming into bloom.



I am generally not satisfied growing a single specimen or a single generation of plants of any given species. I seek to bring out the best qualities in a species by growing multiple generations of plants from genetically diverse populations in our garden. I am always on the lookout for appealing recombinations of genes as well as noteworthy mutations that may have horticultural value. With perennial species the process takes longer than with annual species, however once the process is started each season brings something new to watch and evaluate. Eventually, each morning throughout the year brings something new to see in the garden. For me this is also a gardening success and a very satisfying creative process.



Camassia leichtlinii ssp. suksdorfii is coming into bloom. I also work with this species. The process is slow as it takes seedlings many years to develop. Patience is required, but I enjoy all the incremental steps in the process.



Our Napa County form of Triteleia laxa is always the first to start blooming in our Sacramento garden.



Viburnum bitchiuense is now blooming. The fragrance of this species is divine.

Each year the composition of our front border strip improves.



In this photograph Tulipa clusiana ‘Peppermint Stick’ is combining well with dark hybrid tulips and a variety of California native annuals.



This is another view of the border from a different perspective.



I do the best I can to develop plants for practical application in our Sacramento, California garden. Our third generation Phacelia campanularia line is performing extremely well in the open garden. Plants in this line are being selected for strong performance in an open garden setting, a prolonged blooming cycle, with abundant flowers. We are well on our way to obtaining this goal.

Arthur, great Hepatica’s. Thanks for showing. It seems that slugs have also found your Hepatica's! This year they are here a real pest.  >:(
