06/21/2006 Entry: "Paghat's Garden Updates"

Jessica Amanda Salmonson hadn't updated her Paghat's Garden site for a few months, but now she's back on track, with many new or updated pages posted in June. Irises, oriental poppies, Lady Banks rose, salal, crocus, and more! On white forsythia: "Purplish buds all along the grey naked branches open into faintly almond-fragrant small white four-petalled flowers occasionally with a faint pink shimmer & yellow stamins. These burst into bloom late in winter, typically for February & March, but the photo here is from the third week in January (2006) when we'd had a warmish & very wet winter. It blooms before the reappearance of its leaves & it blooms well ahead of our yellow true forsythias. Like true forsythia, limbs of winter buds can be brought indoors to open sooner in vases."
