As we method the vernal equinox, the times are getting longer and hotter in Maine and the snow is melting shortly. And this transition from winter to spring brings with it a transition from indoor blooms to out of doors blooms.
The indoor blooms nonetheless have pleasure of place as my potted amaryllis bulbs are placing on a present in shades of purple. In my lounge plant window, the large double flowers of Hippeastrum ‘Dancing Queen’ are simply beginning to fade whereas the newly opened flowers of H. ‘Charisma’ bloom beside them.

The flame-red flowers of (I believe) Hippeastrum ‘Crimson Lion’ are lighting up my bed room. One other potted bulb within the bed room has a tall bud that I count on to open within the subsequent week. Judging from the looks of the bud, I believe this can be one other H. ‘Charisma’ – an offset that has lastly grown large enough to bloom in its personal pot.
Whilst I take pleasure in these lovely indoor blooms, the out of doors present is about to start. Snow melting away from the south nook of the home basis has revealed clumps of Crocus vernus ‘Pickwick,’ with fats buds which can be simply ready for some heat sunshine to coax them open. These are all the time the primary flowers of spring in my backyard.
