First Scapes Found Today!

last year

I was out weeding the front bed when I discovered that Fernstone had scapes up. It is almost always the first one to bloom here, but this just means I have quite a bit of work to get done. of course we are supposed to have a colder snap, but unless it is like the Siberian express we had earlier, it should not cause major damage.

Wow Kay! This is very early to see scapes on Fernstone. All my daffodils were very early this year, so I'm expecting my daylilies will be too - unless we go down in the deep freeze later in March or April.

It will be nice to see a new start to spring from you again. We've got a cold front headed our way too. One forecast had it possibly diving down to 23 degrees in the AM later this week. Hopefully it won't get that far south to you even if that forecast materializes here. We have lots of new growth, but no scapes yet......Maryl

Wow, this seems really early, but we have been having really warm weather lately. I have a few plants that still have not come up, but I did see 1 scape up from one that I hope is Sweet Isabelle. Not tag by it, but it is in the general area. I saw another dormant barely poking out of the ground. Not freezing temps expected here the next week, but that can change. I have some bagged leaves saved,. I may put them over if it gets colder

Glad to hear Kay. I was hoping you would post about scapes coming up. The daylilies here are starting to come up. Daffs, Crocus and Tulips are well on their way up. I'm itching to move stuff but with the crazy weather swings, I'll wait. Lots of rain here so I hope that continues.

I will live vicariously through your posts! It will be a good morale booster to see daylilies up and blooming. We just got another snow storm which dumped 11 inches more of the white stuff so my plants are under about 3 feet of snow. There will be a LONG interval between your posts and mine....LOL. I can't wait to see your photos.

There are plants underneath that huge embankment but you would never know!

Kay I know you are always 2-3 weeks ahead of my first scapes but I will be looking closely for the next few weeks!!

Wow, Celeste, your plants have to be hardy to survive your temps and snow! I know the snow provides insulation but that is a deep blanket!!!

Good Grief, Celeste, that is a lot of snow! Kate, my season always seems a little too long since it starts so early, but I really was surprised to see scapes. Fernstone is next to the side of the house, so I don't see it unless I am right there, but yesterday, it did surprise me.
