The rule was: No house plants.
There a number more still inside. How did this happen? The rule was: No house plants.
It's Bloom Day today. Let's go for a slow meandering garden walk. It's easier now. The maintenance gardener needed a fix when he got home and the first big path mowing happened.
Cephalotaxus harringtonia 'Prostrata' got nipped in the bud. Baby leaves turned brown. I'm already seeing new green buds so that is good.
All kind ferns that grow here got discombobulated. Crispy tips abound.
Shredded Umbrella Leaf looks fine.
There are flowers. The Camassia seem to be blooming better every year.
The Emerald Spreader, Taxus cuspidata, turned a winter bronze with its fresh new foliage. The yews got zapped.
Goldenseal and trilliums
The Great Lawn remains unmowed. The maintenance gardener is in no hurry.
Leucothoe
The Under Garden's time is over. It will soon be time for skylights. Mowed paths will assist.
The Snake In The Grass
Fresh Solomon's Seal
On the shores of Turd Blossom Lake
All three species of Aralia really got zapped. The freeze damage was very species specific. It also seemed to have a strong correlation with the early state of leaf expansion. Older new leaves fared much better over all.
There are flowers. Double-file Viburnum
Amsonia
There will be a spell of ugly leaves. I'm trying my best to deal.
Thousands of trilliums finish their bloom.
Iris cristata begins.
The Kousa Dogwood is fully loaded and ready for the next Bloom Day to come.

We were lucky here the frosts were relatively light. Like you say the newest leaves were nipped. Your house plant collection is fun. I feel the same way when I see the tropicals being set out. I hate having so many and I don't have many. ha..
Beautiful shots.Its great to see beautiful perennials and greenery in your post always.Happy blooms day.
That is annoying. I have to say that I don't miss those wild temperature fluctuations. Everything looks lush though in your garden.
Lisa I have been mulling over how to rehome some of my house plants.
Thanks Arun.
Phillip that annoying is pretty much the norm here. It would be a rare spring to come out completely unscathed. The lush can't be stopped though.
Lovely plants, but what my eye caught was your insulators! I collect them too! Do you have a post about them?
What a great variety of flowers you have!
