Amazing, just amazing. Its February 14th. I love in Chicagoland. That’s zone 5, or maybe 6 depending on who you talk to. And here I am with a whole buncha flowers blooming in my front yard! Its been such a warm winter that they are even earlier than usual.
Oh, there are lots more, lots. This is just a sampling.
The winter aconite lives amongst my vinca,. They are tiny, tiny bulbs that self-seed, which is great since they don’t go crazy with naturalizing and even if you get more than you want, they will brown out and disappear when the show is over. I’m actually hoping for them to move into the grass, and they will then “disappear” with the help of our lawn mower when Mike starts cutting the grass.
Officially, they qualify as an ephemeral. but to me, they mostly qualify as a gift!
