today at hardwick hall we are closer to a colorful spring. we had soaking rains night before last and yesterday morning, now all spring sunshine and great gardening weather. today we have added to the "starting to bloom " list, nelly m, joesphine just starting, henryii opening well, guernesy still pretty along with otto f and clair de lune. haku ooken showing better this year too...that one is a sleep sleep, creep creep type of clem.
luckily john warren didn't have many blooms open yet as the rains beat up the ones open pretty well. also ruby glow open today and hf young starting.
here is ruby glow, a very nice little clem, with great saturated color and pretty anthers too.
