18. I planted Grape Hyacynths last year...

And they are all coming up but we're having a second blast of winter for the next week at least and I wonder how most of our bulbs will do. It was 65F yesterday at 4:30 pm, 90 minutes later it was 36F and snowing. I have onions in a cold frame sort of thing outside, I hope they make it through the week as it isn't going to get above 45F all week and down into the upper 20s at night.

We're getting the full brunt of the arctic blast soon to overwhelm the rest of the northern half of the country in coming days.

Love your flowers. I'll enjoy yours now since I'm not so sure my bulbs will do well this year.

I suspect that Grape Hyacinth, like Cockroaches, can survive a nuclear winter. Siwsan Apr 2021 #20
