Journal

My June Journal arrived today and has been read. Thanks Phyllis for looking into the late arrival of the Journal.

Bambi is not a show flower but always delights me as it is the harbinger of Spring in our garden. I take its normal opening as a sign of the season. Our first flower is about to open an event which I usually expect about August 10th. I like Bambi because of its early opening, its ability to survive on neglect, the flowers stand tall above the foliage and its multiplication into a large flowering clump. It brightens a winter garden on a freezing day when snow is only a few miles away.

  1. David,

    I’m glad to hear your Journal arrived.  I was starting to get concerned since most everyone, including other overseas ADS members, received it a bit earlier than usual.  Hopefully, it will arrive sooner the next time.  Thanks for your patience.

  2. Hi David  and  all  ,

    The  National  weather  summary  for  June  was  in  our  papers  yesterday  and  may  help  explain  why  your   BAMBI  is  very early  .  Almost  all  of  the  country  had  an  exceptionally  warm  June  , —  in  most  areas  it  was  the  warmest  June  on  record  .It  was  the  warmest  on  record  here  in  Otaki  —  the  market  flowers  are  about  2  weeks  ahead  of  normal  but  can , (  and  will  )  come  back  quickly  with  the  current  cold  spell .First  snow  of  the  winter  on  Mount  Hector  ,  but  it  went  back  quickly  this  afternoon .Graham  Phillips  reports  that  his  Waikato  flowers  are  similarly  well  ahead  . Keep  warm . ,

    Cheers  John .
