{Do you have a Prunus triloba double almond?}

• Does anyone of you have such a lovely almond tree with double flowers? They look like they came off an advertisement for some French milled soap...  It is pure bliss to watch this little shrub perform with such vigor each spring. At Durio Nursery in Louisiana you were able to find them under their availability button (top left) and you will see Prunus glandulosa ‘Rosea’ (pink flowering almond) when you scroll down. They're our favorite nursery where we got numerous shrubs, vines and trees over the years. I'd like to hear from you if you have one like this, just drop me a note.

• From our bay window we can view this, starting with breakfast each morning. This photo was taken on March 15 when it was in full bloom.

{OUR NARCISSUS ACTAEA A POETICUS VARIETY ~ Heirloom 1927}

On February 27, I did show you our Narcissus Cragford in my blog: {SPRING 2011 IS GRADUATING}. Now I want to introduce to you our Narcissus Actaea, a Poeticus variety. Pieter took these two photos on March 14. Each day something else is blooming on our estate. It is big, and you have to walk the entire property to find the new wonders. White Flower Farm does sell this gem!

Look at the very special stamens inside its tiny cup!

Heirloom 1927 late midseason.
