Environmental scientist engaging in Tikkun Olam, loosely translated as saving the world. By continuing our environmental work we can at the least minimize the impact of SCROTUS’ actions on our world. Expect lots of mostly native flower photos!

Edgeworthia crysantha in bloom in central Maryland. Incredible fragrance and deer “proof”. Nonnative blossoms growing all winter at perfect deer height and none lost #HoCoMDGardeners #edgeworthia #deerresistant

Giant crocuses well more than 1.5 inches across with abundant pollen on the petals. Early bird food for native insects? - the first bee zoomed by this week #spring #crocus #pollen #HoCoMDGardeners

White crocuses this time. Spring is definitely coming two weeks of no night frost peaking at 70 degrees. Bumper crop of narcissuses aka daffs coming up. #HoCoMDGardeners #spring #crocus

A white hellebore aka Lenten Rose in my garden. Still in time for Lent. #HoCoMDGardeners #Lent #hellebore

Despite the arctic blast yesterday we planted with 8 youngsters and 7 adults. Right after the crocuses popped back out backlit by the low angle sun #crocus#springflower#HoCoMDgardeners

Spring is here (well ignore the rude awakening on Sunday morning). Backlit crocuses in the garden on Saturday in central Maryland.

The first hellebore is blooming just in time for Lent hence the name Lenten Rose. Please teach all the children to care for the environment!

The first of the white amaryllises bloomed today. Doubles so twice the petals. Note very subtle pinkish red edge on some of the petals.

More amarylises a tad shaky but a 360 of our current red/pink blooms

The pinkish red veined amaryllises are joining the party! About 20 blooms right new with new ones constantly replacing fading ones. Looking for a couple of weeks of more blooms. #HoCoMDGardeners

Wtf true racist statements by a government official (scheduled to be working for a black man?)

And the amaryllises keep on coming. Up to 16 stems and hoping for more! We moved from peachy pink to a more veined straight pink. More color variations coming up, posting this as a counterpoint of light to all the bs going on in the world.

@bsky.app first post one of our 12 amaryllises
