Featuring Wildflower of the Month for March 2010

Spring is officially here! Since we have been busy working to get our plants ready for spring, we thought we would try to feature one wildflower each month. So for March, the flower of the month is grass widows, Sisyrinchium inflatum.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this plant. Also check out our webpage for updates on our inventoryhttp://www.cricketsgarden.com/. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

Spring is on its way

Hello! This is my first post to my blog. I am new to this but I think it will be fun. It has been a very mild winter here in the Inland Northwest and temperatures have been above normal for awhile. I am definitely getting spring fever. I have been watching my pots where I have plants that I planted last year. I have been worried about the plants surviving winter. I am sure the mild winter helped but I was so excited to see that plants are starting to wake up and sending out new shoots. See the pictures above. The greenish pink leaves are sticky geranium and the dark purple green leaves are Mule's ears.
