Only cherry in this Nimba tree. I’m having problems getting an alleged Red Pacific to synchronize in bloom time, I’m suspecting one (or both) of the trees came mislabeled from the nersery, but if Nimba is the correct ID, it does seem to work fine in my low chill area in Cádiz, but unfortunately it’s not self fertile.

Now comes the hard part. Pruning away about half the clusters on my one older 3rd year Errante Noir grape. It has almost 40 clusters, almost all on double cluster shoots. I’ll likely remove almost all the second clusters, keeping a few for curiosity to see if they fully develop and get good brix.
Magnolia Yellow Bird
Orange Persian buttercup
My limequat Lakeland finally breaking bud after shedding almost all of its leaves.
Saw flowers on one of my Tilamook goumi today.
Right beside it I noticed- for the first time ever- my bay leaf getting flowers.
Then… I noticed the one thornless blackberry I got from @krismoriah with a pink flower! Oooohhh. That’s the only way I like pink besided ona sunset… or a little in my steak!
I started some bocking 14 comfery late Feb, early March… and it is doing well here. Found one blooming already.

My Carolina allspice bushes are finally flowering and starting to open and they DO smell wonderful very fruity, sweet aroma they opened more as the day went on, but no picture
One more pic, I think aronia flowers are so beautiful. Dainty and delicate little bunches. I think this picture is from a Viking. My low scapes flowered slightly earlier and will have a bunch of fruit this year, Vikings and newer Northwest parks have a good amount of flowers, which is exciting
The grapes are graping. These are 4 different clusters. On my 1 3rd year and 6 2nd year vines I’ve pruned down to 67 clusters. I’ll have plenty of juice to make some wine this year. Next year will be wild.
What variety is that?
These are Chesters. Old but good. Heavy feeders, but very heavy bearers.
Amaryllis have become my Springtime favorite. The voles won’t eat them. The deer are not interested. They put on an insane curbside show. Amaryllis prefer southern exposure behind retaining walls. They do not like wet freeze/thaw soil in the Winter. They are fairly cold hardy. I only lost one bulb this out of a couple hundred this past Winter and it wasn’t in an ideal location.
