The roses that bloom in the spring, tra-la
The rose season opened here in Philippi WV over the weekend. R.
primula and R. xanthina produced the first blooms of the season. R. primula is also known as the Incense Rose because its foliage smells like frankincense. The latest bloom among my orchids is --Mormolyca ringens-- A couple of Vireyas, including -Rhododendron christii- are doing their thing, and my camellia -Nuccio's Pearl- has just about finished blooming. Obbooks: Jack Harkness's -Roses-, --Orchids of South-West Australia. J. Del Col |

wrote: Are these in a greenhouse? I wish. Or have you manged to create a micro-micro-climate outside your door? I keep the orchids and vireyas in my basement in the winter. The camellia stays in the garage. And on the subject of the greenhouse, are there seasons in such a place? I would guess that the plants "know" how much sunlight they're getting, which at high latitudes is still a variable. Yes, artificial lighting can be used to accomodate the photo-period requirements of different plants. In the old days the wealthy maintained seperate warm and cool greenhouses. For some years, residents of the Nordic countries, particularly Finns, employed greenhouses (a movement created in large part by Aino Sibelius, wife of the composer) to give themselves a year round supply of veggies. They even grew citrus fruits. Yep. The Europeans do this extensively. J. Del Col ( who keeps cacti, too) |

Well, while we're on the subject of non-orchids, my gardenia bushes are in
full swing. Walking by them is a very pleasant assault on the senses indeed........ Diana |

I mentioned orchids. I mentioned books. (annoying emoticon here) BTW, the book on the orchids of Southwest Australia is a fine one. Locating a copy at a less than extortionate price wasn't easy, but Alibris had one. J. Del Col |

Not funny! It's a trick! There IS no door. I can't even find the forsythia bush. I'm trapped in here forever. I'm doomed. |
