Lent Lily, Blue Roman Hyacinth, 'Golden Harvest', Spider Web

Busy days yesterday and today, but I know you all might enjoy some pictures from the farm. We have released the next botanical print in our series of drawings by Ann Swan. Be sure to check them out at www.southernbulbs.com.

It was a foggy morning yesterday morning with a lot of dew on the ground, and the water made for some really great pictures. This first one below is a crocus we have blooming in the field.



This Lent lily is keeping a strong stalk even when loaded down with water.

Our blue Roman hyacinths continue to shoot up bloom stalks. The whites are nearly almost done now.


Lent lilies (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) often make nice drifts of traditional daffodil color and form.




The light behind this Narcissus casts some nice shadows on the tepals.



This spider decided to make a web in some of our white rain lilies (Zephyranthes candida).




Fischer and this daffodil both look to the sun for some warmth.
