March! The month when Portland gardens are typically exploding with blooming bulbs. It's been an early spring here, but there are still a few crocus, lots of daffodils, and the tulips are just getting started. I'm not a big planter of spring bulbs, in fact these inherited daffodils are all there is...

The blooms of Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Nanjing Gold' are waning, although there are a few new blooms still opening.
![]()
Last Bloomday I shared my concern for the buds on the Edgeworthia chrysantha ‘Akebono’, turns out most of them are opening after all.

However there are a few that look like the shriveled one about mid photo on the left...

The hellebores are still shining bright, Helleborus argutifolius.
![]()
Helleborus x hybridus 'Jade Tiger' blooms are fading to green.
![]()
And the foliage is growing. This plant is gorgeous no matter the season.
![]()
I think I picked this one up at a plant exchange, I have no ID for it.
![]()
Abutilon 'Nuabtang' Lucky Lantern, not yet planted, picked up just last Sunday at Little Prince of Oregon Nursery.
![]()
Also not planted, Euphorbia 'Ascot Rainbow'.
![]()
This one has a bad rap, but it behaves pretty well in my garden. Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae
![]()
Euphorbia rigida, I love how it seeded itself along in a row.
![]()
There are seeds already developing on this years blooms. I am thrilled, more plants!
![]()
Ceanothus 'Dark Star' just about ready to burst into bloom.
![]()
This stage just might be my favorite.
![]()
Foliage about to burst on the Podophyllum 'Red Panda'. You can see flower buds in there too, which is how I'm rationalizing including this photo.
![]()
This one is in just for fun, Syneilesis aconitifolia emerging from the soil, fuzzy little mushrooms. Oh wait! There's a small patch of Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae in the background. There are blooms after all!
![]()
Arctostaphylos densiflora ‘Harmony’ is the last of my trio of manzanita to bloom.
![]()
The bumbles love it.
![]()
Loropetalum chinense var. rubrum 'Hindwarf'
![]()
A NOID rosemary
![]()
Grevillea 'Neil Bell', how many months in a row now has this one been blooming!?
![]()
Grevillea australis, and I could detect just the slightest honey fragrance.
![]()
Grevillea ‘Poorinda Leane’
![]()
Just a couple more, inside the house. I keep waiting for this Tillandsia bulbosa to really get with the blooming, but it seems frozen in this state.
![]()
This NOID tillandsia is going to bloom!
![]()
And the Ludisia discolor is taking it's time, although those buds keep getting taller and taller...
