As if the pleasure of walking on a sun filled, 50 degree day in the winter is not enough, there are more flowers added to the list to see. Adonis and snowdrops continue their display along the main path on the March Bank with a few winter aconite showing to the keen eye. Next to […]

What better way to utilize an “extra day”–Leap Day–than to take a moment to see how the Winterthur Garden is waking up. The intent was to go right to the March Bank because that is the main display at this time of year but I was lured by other flowers along the way. Here is how the […]

Nature can sure keep us hopping! Last week we had single digit temperatures, significant ice and snowfall and today, sunshine and warm temperatures are again raining down. March is known for this behavior but never-the-less it sets our mind spinning a bit. The still-frozen ground and melting snow has made for a “mud season” for […]

Don’t Step on Tommie!

Just went up to the East Terrace at Winterthur to verify reports that the Tommies (Crocus tommasinianus) are blooming. And to get a break from my trusty computer. Sure enough, a blanket of soft lavender covers the East Terrace, at the top of the Reflecting Pool’s main staircase. They look so very delicate, but full bloom […]

Today is “the” day to see the tommies (Crocus tomasinianus) in full bloom on the East Terrace at Winterthur. They can also be found on hillsides near the fire station and greenhouses. Their delicate purple flowers with yellow stamens are a welcome sight in early spring. Other wonderful sights today: the butter yellow of the aconites and […]

It is amazing to think about the fact that two weeks ago we still had a fair amount of snow on the ground. Now, the woodland floor of many of our garden areas are covered in a multitude of flowers, with more to emerge with the impending warm weekend. I know that we are just about to […]

Amongst some of the last remnants of snow, hellebores […]
