This is about life in my gardens. One is an acre on a hillside in Laguna Beach, California and the other is an acre in San Juan Capistrano, California.

Flowering Freesias
These pretty freesias have been coming up every year since I planted the corms about five years ago. Another lovely symbol of spring! I must remember to plant more next fall.
I'm north a bit, so I've been waiting and watching the swelling buds. I love the scent, and can't wait to bring a bouquet inside. I remember trying to grow freesias in Chicago! Times have changed....
I have to plant these in containers Sheila because it's too cold here to overwinter them. I bought more this year because of the fragrance. Lucky you to have them return again and again.

I have one batch coming up the others rotted I guess)-: Yours look beautiful! I am sure they smell wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteI saw some bulbs at Lowe's and considered getting some. How long do they bloom?

ReplyDeleteOh I love freesias. I did try growing some indoors but it wasn't terribly successful, I might have another go. Yours do look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLucky, lucky you! I had some in my Palo Alto garden but it's too cold here in the foothills.
