In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on March 11, 2025, 9:45 pm The first outdoor blooms of 2025 are happening right now. They are about two weeks late, using last year, for perspective. These are SNOWDROPS, Galanthus nivalis... https://photos.app.goo.gl/hxBR2rEtGJqr2usm9 I removed the rose cone from this holly species. It is rated zone 7, but both my winter minimum, and zone is 6B. The holly species is the YAUPON HOLLY, or Ilex vomitotium. Anyone else growing this BLE? https://photos.app.goo.gl/gLbRPJku9LvKFNDa8 I removed the rose cone from this BLE (broad-leaved evergreen). It is also rated z7 hardy, unprotected, and is related to olive trees. The plant is Elaeagnus 'Olive Martini'. Any one else growing this plant, in their garden? https://photos.app.goo.gl/9c2TTewVzoXp71sg8 The WINTER ELEPHANT EARS are still green, after weeks of snow cover, and a minus 3 low, this winter. Anybody else's elephant ears stay green, all winter? This plant is called the Italian Arum, or Arum italica. Fred showed a picyure of his Arrowhead plant/Syngonium, recently. This one is much hardier, though: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gogmedT3FSjmgq1B8

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on March 13, 2025, 8:04 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin Yaupon Holly is native here in Zac. It grows wild all over the low country. The Elaeagnus is beautiful. I grew The green one in Kentucky. It is a rampant grower and grows big whip like extension growth dnd takes a lot of pruning. Is the variegated one you show rampant grower? Love the winter elephant ears Arum with the beautiful veining . I don’t have snow drops but I have something similar. If I can I will photo it today and send you a picture to identify?

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on March 13, 2025, 9:29 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. Yaupon holly doesn't grow here, in gardens OR in the wild. The reason being is mainly because they are not rated z5 or z6 hardy. Therefore, they are not found, locally. This is one of the reasons why I grow it here. I strive to have an "un-run of the mill" garden. I hope they eventually begin blooming and producing berries, here, about two zones lower than its nativity. This Elaeagnus is a newer cultivar. So far, it is not growing in an aggressive sort of way. It has been in the ground for at least two years. Yeah, you have already shown some daffodils and Hyacinths. Snowdrops would like be done already, where you are. Show the flower, if you get the chance.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred Sc on March 15, 2025, 8:21 am, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Alvin. here are two pics I just took so you could identify. https://i.ibb.co/kgWt9CZJ/IMG-6193.jpg https://i.ibb.co/W40CMsrR/IMG-6192.jpg

Summer Snowflakes Posted by Alvin, z6 on March 15, 2025, 12:18 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Fred, looks like you have this flower, in bloom. I found a pic off the net of it. Since you are ahead of me, in terms of bloom progression, they wont bloom here, for a few weeks, at least: Leucojum aestivum https://images.app.goo.gl/Y5xUPec7XTv5SNNR8
