    The Akebono cherry trees are blooming on the Portland waterfront.

    And the teacup magnolias are riotously beautiful.

      Oh, wow!! Absolutely gorgeous...

      I'm jealous. All I have coming up are chives, which are nice. And dandelions, which are not.

          And weeds.

            I just realized I'll never have anything for this thread. I don't have a green thumb. My grandmother has one. So I know the difference. My college girlfriend's comment when first seeing my house was, "Who does your landscaping?" I did now the grass.

            But I'm going to be a city dweller. I'm going to be living in an apartment building for the first time.

            I would have a house and garden as my first choice. I would ideally have one and a city apartment. I'm hardly unique in that way.

            I'm now going completely off topic, to say that I'm really looking for a Florida condo that is in a cement block building but doesn't have a dated, cliched, vacation themed interior, and doesn't look like a rental apartment.

            I know I'm lucky to be able to do it and, although nothing will take away my joy in it, I'll have to wait for a thread on house plants.

            Disclaimer- I own only two house plants and both live outside- a cactus I've had for eight years and an aloe vera plant a neighbor gave me a few years ago. I've decided not to take either one of them because they wouldn't survive.

              Your cactus may flower if conditions change. Neglect it then water it then neglect it and see?
              Could also be structural plants or trees rather than colour. Bamboo, pampas grass, 🌴 🌴 are attractive.
              And there must be public gardens or planters?

              Here there are currently masses of yellow daffodils everywhere, on verges and roundabouts where the council have planted; also on minor roadsides where house owners have planted a single line for a mile 😄.

              And in planters in towns there are fragrant hyacinth, one of my favourite flowers.

                    And just over our garden fence where we see it far easier than our neighbours, one of the most beautiful camellia bushes ever

                    20260325_071829.jpg

                    Look at all the buds. Cut 5 flowers and they last 3 days indoors, but there's a months supply. I feel a cutting coming on.
