Past Chapter Chair Amelia Lane shares a photo from her garden of a birdfeeder converted to a nesting box by wrens

Chapter member Jerry Yu shares a couple of signs of spring:  a sweet yellow crocus and NARGS seedex sowings.

Piedmont Chapter Program Chair Bobby Ward is having great success with container-planted Narcissus bulbocodium conspicuous ‘White Petticoat’, purchased last fall through the chapter’s sale of bulb samplers from Van Engelen.

Now for something completely different, as NARGS members begin sowing and growing their first batches of seed, ordered through the 2020 NARGS Seed Exchange, Pacific Bulb Exchange and others. Chapter members Ruth Little and Charlotte Thomann do their ordering and sowing as a joint operation, and aren’t afraid to try difficult taxa. Here are some photos of what these slightly mad plant scientists have been getting up to in recent weeks.

Are you having some early luck with seed exchange treasures? Please submit your photos, to educate and inspire others, as second round ordering commences March 1, 2020.
