tulip "Happy Generation" close up

This is the last entry for this blog.  I have been working on a new site for Bindweed that includes a blog.  It  is up and live and gorgeous--I am really proud and excited to share.  So sadly this is the last entry for this blog--what happens to old blogs?  Do they just disappear into the ether?  

I will not completely abandon this blog for awhile because it is helpful to search the archives when planning events.  Using the archives from prior years you can see what was available on the date of your event.  There is a link on the new site to this blog and there is a link button just to the right of this entry to link to the new site.

Please visit our new site at bindweedfarm.com.  Push all the buttons and explore all the links.  We have hundreds of photos that are captioned and will enlarge to give you a good view of the farm and our flowers.  Let me know if you discover any bugs, link duds or misspellings.  The site is ours and easy to change so we can update and manipulate it from home.

Thank you for visiting and I hope to see you at our new space.

Fresh Cuts April 7

Spring crocus

These little charmers are blooming just outside the kitchen window under the shelter of the arctic willows.  Each year their tender green fingers reach up through the snow searching for the sun.  And if they find enough encouragement, they celebrate by throwing up slender shoots of color that swell like tiny hot air balloons until they burst open and warm their golden hearts.  Surrounded by the frozen ground, they fly their colors boldly, so tiny and brave they inspire me.

Spring crocus at Bindweed

The crocus also signal a transition at Bindweed.  It has only been a few weeks but we are harvesting the late blooming tulips in the greenhouse.  The tulips in the hoop-house are forming heads and the hyacinth are beginning to open. 

tulip "Dordogne"

We have an abundance of tulips in a more limited palette.  We have a new variety of white that is absolutely massive with big full heads.  "Maureen", another white tulip is also in bloom.  "Happy Generation", white with a red stripe is beginning to make a strong appearance and "Dordogne", a beautiful mango colored beauty is blooming.
