First snowdrops of the season seen in the Azalea Garden! Or at least the first we could get pictures of. Horticulture tells us these little guys had been briefly popping their heads up throughout December thanks to the oscillating temperatures, but they should be a more steady presence around the grounds going forward.

Lycianthes rantonnetii is unquestionably purple, yet is is commonly known as the blue potato bush. Go figure! Regardless of color, if you live in Zones 9 through 11, it is a lovely, scented ornamental plant for your garden.

Neon bright colors are all the rage in fashion, and in the Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections. Think of the Nolen Greenhouses as our permanent collection. It’s where we store rare specimens, and propagate beautiful blooms–like this orchid and these neotropical blueberries–for future display.
