March Flora Watch
I took a walk this past Saturday around N.C. State’s campus, J.C. Raulston Arboretum, and my own Gorman Street to see what’s what right now in the landscape. I’m not sure if we’re safely out of danger from frost yet between the alternating snow and eighty-degree weather, but it’s definitely spring. I saw lots of yellow and white blossoms plus the beginnings of new leaves of a lot of the shrubs and some of the trees. By the way, the stinky-but-pretty (and overplanted, frankly) bradford pears ([Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford']) are also in bloom so that’s probably the source of any random smells of decay.
Highlights from the [flickr photoset]:
Narcissus willkommii
Artemisia (wormwood)
Crocus vernus
Fatsia japonica (aralia)
Forsythia X intermedia (spring forsythia)
Hammamelis virginiana 'Sunburst' (witch hazel)
Hyacinthus orientalis 'Blue Festival'
Iberis sempervirens (candytufts)
Lonicera fragrantissima (fragrant winter honeysuckle)
Magnolia X soulangiana (saucer magnolia)
Phlox subulata (moss pinks)
Berberis julianae (wintergreen barberry)

Wow, this is really much neater than I expected it to be when you first told me. It will be nice to have some plant knowledge for my book!

Hey, you changed the site design since the last time I visited (I use the RSS feed, so I don’t actually come to the website that often).
Looks great!
