March is here, and we’re looking for spring to hurry on
up! While the temperatures are
slowly climbing (and sometimes going back to the low thirties), crocuses are
starting to pop up near trees all over town. It’s one of those first signs that winter is coming to a
close. Crocuses, orchids and tulips
are some popular flowers for Easter, Passover and general springtime cheer.
If you’re lucky enough to have some growing nearby, replant
some in a short pot or bed, and have it grow in a well-lit room. Watch out for allergies! They have strong pollen, which can
irritate the skin and eyes.
Orchids are stunning, but require extra care. You can pick them up at grocery stores
already planted and budding. No
matter how you water or care for them, the end result is a beautiful flower
that can last well through the summer (I’ve seen some last over a year!).
