Where have I been? Do you ever just look up and wonder where two weeks, or even two months have gone?
I wonder if people's perception of time has changed with all attention on screens every moment. It sometimes seems like life is lived in the little moments of a text or an email or a Netflix or the latest thing Donald has said and- wow, wasn't it just Christmas and now it's almost spring.
Thankfully, the nature of flower work commands a certain kind of attention that has one focused on the seasons. Roses may be available all year round from some part of the world, but the fragile spring flowers like frittilaria, muscari, fruit blossoms, magnolia, etc, etc are fragile and ethereal. A sigh of delight, manifested in matter - those have a short window.
You have to pay attention or they will go by.
So, a few to share.
Above, we have tulips and hellebore's, and young buckeye branch mixed with a tillandsia plant from warmer climates that insisted on being part of the party.
Below are anemones, coming in like crazy. The first of the field flowers ( or hoop house flowers). This black, purple, somewhat crimson color is my favorite this season.
