WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN JANUARY 2014

Could it be Sulphur Tuft ?

 

I've got my timings wrong @ARMANDII ....April to November and found in 'tightly packed clumps'

 

Im opting for nancy cascades maybe

 

Could be Orange capped Bonnet?

 

My hellebores are on the march! Starting to grow stronger and stronger. This makes me feel spring is coming

 

I am growing some Gladiolus violaceolineatus, which is a winter flowering gladiolus from South Africa. The seeds were easy to start (in 2010). The flowers are only an inch , and the leaves are wire-thin. It grows about 18" tall.:

And don't think my daylilies have given up, here is 'Hold Your Horses':

 

That is a lovely Gladdie!
Nice to hear that it was easy from seed as I have seed for G.orchidflorus.

 

One other thing - the bulbs are tiny. After 4 years, the big ones are about 1/4" across, but they also have really multiplied. It took 3 years for the first flower.

 

We are nearly at the end of January and the garden is dotted by snowdrops and cyclamen, they really cheer up the otherwise rather drab environment.


Crocuses and hellebores are coming along nicely




As well as bergenia




And we can always count on primroses

 

Lovely colours @HsuH

 

What a beautiful early Spring garden Hsuh...
