Early Spring at Highcote: frogs trilling, geese mating

March 17, 2012

I love this photo sent by friend, E Bradham from Charleston. I want to go here!! Our  daffodils from Brent & Beckys bulbs planted from GWA samples received over many years enrich our garden at Highcote in Cashiers, NC with a multitude of cup colors and form. The apricot hyacinth Gypsy Queen is fantastic. Pulmonaria in a tapestry of pinks and purples., Weeping cherry purchased for $25 and now 30′ tall is magnificent with cascades of pale pink flowers. Blindingly dark purple grape hyacinth has never been thicker or better.

Forysythia,* Corylus spicata* in bloom, Stachyurus about 3″ long racimes ready to pop…it is a heartbreakingly early zone 6a-new zone 6b- spring. Tulip poplar with 1″ leaves sheaths…I’m enjoying while waiting for the next shoe to drop  since our spring officially is around May 15, not March 15.
