Little update on product from Oregon...
We continue to get rain almost daily but at least our temperatures have increased, its getting warmer, days are longer. The swallows have returned, frogs started croaking and even a few turkey buzzards have been spotted, all signs that spring is in effect.
Locally, around town, we're seeing daffodils, crocus, muscari, spanish bluebells and tulips, the first flowers to really bloom in this climate. Iris have not started to bloom, they are just breaking ground. Spirea is starting, magnolia blooms are finishing. Dogwood and lilac are right around the corner. Blackberries are starting to leaf out and grow foliage. Blueberries are in their bloom stage, leafless and covered in little pieris-like blooms. We are a long ways away from seeing actual fruit. I expect to see bleeding hearts very soon.
Many of the trees are finishing their early bloom, like forsythia, quince and cherry, while deciduous trees are starting to show some leaves. Magnolia are done. Pieris is done. We are a good 3 weeks behind schedule from where we were this time last year.
We can expect most commercially grown cuts to be 3-4 weeks behind schedule this year.
On the farm level, the rain slows everything down as farmers cannot till their soil yet, many fields are still flooded. Farmers are anxious to plant dahlia tubers soon. Mid April is normal time to start some seedlings. Mid may is when summer flowers get planted..so for Oregon we're months away from seeing anything in annual types of flowers.
We can rely on California for these types of flowers. For sure, we will not have peonies early, like last year, they will come after the Mother's Day holiday.
We'll keep looking and hunting for fun blooming stuff, but for sure 'we're not there yet', so stay buckled up on this car ride and things should get better.
This week I'll be sending local hellebore (gorgeous!!), local daffodils, a few flowering currant(Ribes), some blooming 'honey berry' which is a honeysuckle cousin, some dark pink tulip magnolia. Next week I can expect more hellebores and daffodils. I also have double red thornless flowering quince lined up.
On dogwood...enjoy the cut stage we have in inventory. These small buds will change quickly into cool looking green flowers. They are pretty awesome in this stage and much more practical than open cut dogwood...open cut is very difficult to handle..even though it is gorgeous when blooming, for sure. Don't underestimate the beauty of the dogwood buds..test some out..see what they do.
