Cyrtanthus brachyscyphusThe pelting has not kept us from working in the garden , and even though it is flooding , many things we ’re still planted since the weather has been at least , serious for that!A walk around the yard , with the camera reveals some surprises . Like this first peak on a wintertime dormant South African Cyrtanthus bulb , C. brachyscyphus . Samll , no marvelous than 8 inches , I was well-chosen to find it establishing itself in a lowly cadaver pot in the greenhouse . you could say why it is called the ardor lily in South Africa , it put up a little discharge on such a dready day . A blizzard of Enkiathus BlossomsSomtimes , it ’s not about the flush on the reen , or in this case the shrub , but it ’s more about the geshtault of the second . As the Japanese find nifty respect in this ( FOr instance , Cherry blossom festival or Sakura are really not about the flowers on the tree , but about how the shatter and nightfall , flex in the wind and the practice they make on the rocks , streams and ground . How very Wabi Sabi . Anyway , I could not help but think of that , as I discovered this dusting of Enkiathus blossoms on the crushed rock walk to the greenhouse . Camassia leichtlinii semiplenaThe Camas Lily , aboriginal to the pacific north west is a North American bulb that provides welcom color and the magnificence of altitude , during a sentence when there are noteworthy few bulbs in bloom , at the begining of June . I feel a particular attachment since my comrade had once lived in Camas Washington , and it was there where I first found field of this beautiful American bulb plant . ; Typcally dingy , there is a white variety , and above , a rarer double form of the bloodless Camas lily . cheap enough , one can open a dozen or two , depend for them in specialty bulb catalogs , they are not that unmanageable to retrieve . Saxifraga X ‘ Sieben’We keep a number of troughs , and this is a tiny one , kept mostly in the Alpine house where we keep many of the Saxifrages . Here , S. ‘ Sieben ” shows a mincing wire of a stem , with tiny white saxifrageous blossoms . It appears happy enough to not be in the rain , where the pounding drops could dislodge some of the llimestone dusting on the foliage of this high aggrandizement alpine industrial plant from Europe .
Rhodohypoxis baurii in a troughI have one trough that is in full sun , and for the merriment of it , I planted some bulbs in it too , including some frost tender Rhodohypoxis , another summertime blooming South African that I pass to be fond of at the second . I have so many , that I resolve to stach a potful in the sunny trough next to an Allium .
