🧈LIKE BUTTER! By far the deepest yellow Hyacinthus, STUNNING H. orientalis 'Yellowstone' (Markglory C.V., 2008) blows 'City of Haarlem' (J.H. Kersten, 1893) & near contenders 'Yellow Hammer' (J.H. Veen, 1883) & 'Gipsy Princess' (van der Salm, 1991) off the chart! Asparagaceae
RERUN OF A RERUN!😄 Now on day 6 since opening, Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) 'Susan' (Jacob Mense, 1980) shows a color shift to a lighter salmon pink, & offers proof that cultivars bred for thicker substance can hold up in good condition longer than older, thinner ones. Amaryllidaceae
A CHALLENGE TO CAPTURE! Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) 'Black Pearl' (unregistered) now in 2nd year here, always defies attempts to photograph its unique smoky black sheen. Have moved it around the house during Sun & clouds, here are the best of about 75 photos. Amaryllidaceae
ON FIRE: Acer palmatum (Japanese Maple) 'Bloodgood' & Rhododendron (Gable Azalea) x 'Karen' - two very different plants with quite the same idea - great plant minds think alike! Aceraceae & Ericaceae.
MAGICAL PAIRING: #Tulipa #Dream with #Koreanspice #Viburnum x #Carlesii! @jannibele @TommyTonsberg @gartnerkenneth
