Sweet Vitriol

bloom day passed, with nary a bloom in sight

Yesterday was bloom day, but you wouldn’t have known it around here. After a few days of warm “open-window” weather, we’re back into the cold and snow flurries. The weather can’t make up it’s mind, and as a result the flowers have decided four-square against coming up yet. Even the bulbs are just barely showing timid growth. Even this native to gloom and drizzle will be glad when all this gray is gone.

Now, that’s not to say that there’s nothing blooming in the house of the ether garden! Jeremy is having some swimming success with one of his aquatic plants, the Anubias barteri (possibly v. nana). In addition to this lovely bloom, there’s another bud stalk reaching it’s way upwards which I belive shall unfurl itself within a few short days.

Sweet Vitriol is also blooming. You may have noticed a few new items in the sidebar. Because I know how anxious we all are for something to happen in our gardens these days, I’ve added a twitter update widget. I’ll keep quick little updates running there, giving the heads-up on upcoming posts and the like. Also added to the sidebar is a handy link to the Mouse and Trowel Award nomination form. Nominations are open until April 15th, I already made my nominations- did you?
