Hello:

The hail storm we had on this mountain did some serious damage to all the daffodils up here.  It was only quarter sized stones, but they hit hard and the flowers did not like it.  I got a few pictures before the storm so enjoy them.


I just love these white daffodils.


Yes, this is a daffodil.  I've never seen one with so many leaves before.  I think they are very special and beautiful.  Enjoy.

Greetings:

Hope everyone had a Green time for St. Pat's Day.  The Crocus bloomed up here.  They knew I was waiting on them and then in one day they all opened up at once.  I grabbed the camera and went to catch them before the deer could eat them.  They have a delicate fragrance I wish I could post, but alas, I cannot.  Enjoy a couple of photographs.

The first of the daffodils are beginning to bloom.  I'm going out to capture them for a future blog.  Bette

Greetings and welcome to Bette's Beds the blogspot.  This space will be used to expand on the column in the Nicholas Chronicle of the same name.  In this location I will post photographs and videos of the things I describe in the newspaper.

My problem with the rhododendron in my identificatin book was that it was black and white and my flowers were not!  I will also put links to the best of the research.

I will eventually learn how to fully use all the functions of this blog and be able to chat and hold plant discussions.

I was serious in offering a trade of my plants for someone's expertise in getting me started and putting my logos on the blog.

Meanwhile......here are photos of the rhododendron I see from my windows.
