What's looking good MARCH 2024

Our magnolias are looking good today. We lose the flowers to frost about 2 in every 3 years, so lovely to celebrate it when it stays unscathed. The stellata seems to shrug off the frost a bit better, so we get a good show out of it most years.

 

Have just spent a happy hour looking through all these photos - so lovely

 

Those wood anemones and frritillaries are early @NigelJ . My anems are only just showing a few leaves. No sign of frits yet. That I. Denver Daybreak is very pretty.

 

Slowly, slowly .... but it's starting to take off

Daffodils (variety?)




Grape Hyacinth




Ribes sanguineum




Forget-Me-Not

 

@LunarSea I were going to say the daffs were February Gold at first but the slight hint of orange its probably Jetfire

 

Some stunning plants here... your magnolias are a sight to behold, @Chicky; judas tree wow @Victoria; I have hellebore andd daff envy, @shiney

A Harvington hellebore and a double daff.

 

It looks like Clematis alpina Helsingborg, @roders

 

Iris..can never remember if it's a Louisianian or japanese



Magnolia 'Black Tulip'


Magnolia 'Heaven Scent' (in theory only...no perfume!)

 

Thanks Perki. Yep that's what the good lady thinks as well.

 

@fairygirl Everything is about a month early than usual with me, the Ipheion "Denver Daybreak" is just settling in I believe that they should be pinker.

 

Hello @Chicky, I'm glad you're here. Have I already said that?

 

It’s all about the Daffs with me so far.

 

I have been taking photos, (as I do most years!) of the Magnolias flowering around town today. I love to see them in flower & they rarely seem to get damaged by frost here.
