Steve and all,
I don't see any Arisaema coming up yet outdoors, nor in pots in the
greenhouse. Three groups of my Trillium nivale are up and in bloom, and
one spot of T. recrvatum are up. The other recurvatum are still buried
under leaves. One small T. luteum is up, the rest are not in sight
yet. Dodecatheon and Primula are little clumps of tiny bright green
cabbagy leaves.
We still have lots of Clivia in bloom in the b ig greenhouse, and this
coming Sunday would be a good day for anyone who wants to see them in blo=om
to drop in. By the following weekend, the flowers will probably all be g=one.

in central Indiana, USA, where the sun is shining and the temperature got
up into the 40s F this afternoon (ca. 5 to 10=B0C).
