2012-05-28 Around the Yard

A couple nice things are open now. Cypripedium pubescens, for a starter. I've had this for many years, but it declined during our 2008 move and the subsequent 2008 winter. Down to just one blooming stem, up from one not blooming stem last year and the year before.


My Phyteuma scheuzeri is open. Very cute little buds that look like horns.


More Phyteuma.


Seed grown Ixia scillaris from Silverhill Seeds. I was hoping for a more maroon flower, but it ended up pink.


Aulax cancellata is blooming for the first time. It has long pine-like needles and fragrant, but a bit musky, flowers.


x Halimiocistus wintonensis Merrist Wood Cream. A lovely little intergeneric.


Calochortus superbus.


I think this is Iris 'Moon Glow'


That's all for now.
