Around Valentines day , the tipping point happens – for by mid - February , the sun start to feel secure . One notices the days staying longer , ( it ’s sparkle out when I leave body of work now ) , and the plants all seem to know that give is coming , for short , buds start to swell , and many plants begin new growth . This is Camellia season , both in California and under glass in the cold , snowy north . So on this St. Valentines Day , I just will share some images of what is in bloom today . The Vireya crossed made with x ‘ Saint Valentines Day ’ , are all good bloomers , and this one , which has lost its tatter , is fittingly in full bloom . The Hobby GreenhouseAssociation of Massachusetts had their garden tour in our greenhouse yesterday , we all had a dear clip and thankfully , it was gay . This Acacia pravissima caused some yakety-yak , since it looks very much in like many Acacias one sees in northern greenhouse . The mid - time of year Cyclamen specie are starting to blossom , here , a cute flyspeck C. trochopteranthum blooms in an alpine cooking pan . This relatively new to refinement , species come from a limited region in south - west Anatolia , Turkey . It was first classified as C. alpinum , but recently the Cyclamen Society is researching wild population to clear - up this woolly genus , with the first task of clearing up the taxonomy within this specie where there seems to be two variants . Which ever one I have , it clearly is not as floriferous as some of the photos I ’ve realise in England , but , then again , I do n’t fret over mine that much . One of my new Japanese Azaleas , Azalea kurume from Nuccio ’s Nursery in California is starting to bloom , the colour is utterly purple . The Correa Western Pink , that I brought back from Oregon last March , is still in bloom . I do n’t call up that there was a day all class , that this shrub from Chile did n’t have flush on it . A Pink single Camellia from Japan . The single Camellia ’s are all bloom a bit belatedly , this one flush more typically at the Holidays . Camellia ‘ Silver Chalice”This one expect bounteous , but the bloom is the sizing of a nickle . The metal money form from China of Camellia lutchuensis . It ’s fragrant , too!Oxalis purpurea ‘ Peach ’
