Assuming there is no snow, I usually always have something out by the end of February — but this February\u00a0has been unusually floriferousI Here are a few things that were out even last week (Feb. 20-25), or even before<\/p>\n

Some standard early plants nobody should be without.<\/p>\n

\"Eranthis

Eranthis hyemalis<\/em> A nice robust form<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Always

Hamamelis xintermedia<\/em> ‘Orange Peel’ Feb. 12 — Always the earliest<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Galanthus

Galanthus elwesii Nice and big and easy<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Colchicum

Colchicum atticum<\/em> a new spring Colchicum for me, but seemingly hardy<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Helleborus

Helleborus niger<\/em> ‘HGC Josef Lemper’ — Almost as nice as ‘Potter’s Wheel’<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Crocus

Crocus korolkowii always one of the earliest<\/p><\/div>\n

A few things that I don’t normally have in bloom quite this early are also striking for being out or almost out already<\/p>\n

\"Scilla

Scilla mischtschenkoana<\/em> Feb 26 2017 — my favorite squill<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Cyclamen

Cyclamen coum<\/em> Feb 26 2017<\/p><\/div>\n

Even my first spring Cyclamen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here are a few things that just about opened that I am worried about…<\/p>\n

\"Hepatica

Hepatica nobilis<\/em> double red Feb 26 2017<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Cardamine

Cardamine quinquefolia<\/em> Feb 26 2017<\/p><\/div>\n

We’ll see how this goes in March — hopefully no 15 below weather!<\/p>\n
