The whirlpool may be from a manhole cover that popped off due to the torrent of water.

Yesterday we had the equivalent of one month's rain in a couple of hours.  NYC was basically  closed for business and subways were flooded.

Not far from where I grew up.

Cyclamen hederafolium
Colchicum spp.

Couple of more shots of the Colchicums.  I believe the white is Colchicum byzantinum Alba

Habranthus brachyandrus Cherry Pink

Very old plant not sure of the ID

We've had a bit of a glitch with PayPal.

They stepped recording the BX or SX number when transmitting payments.

 I would  ask everyone to add the number of payments in the note section.

I'm getting receipts with a designation of Item # 1 or item # 2.

It makes it difficult to credit the proper SX/BX number.

Thanks and looking forward to the growing season.

I've seen the Bay of Fundy.

Quite a sight when the tide is out and the wharfs are so high

Colchicums.  Label long gone

Marc:

In the Directory?

Robin should make the correction.  It is correct on the label of the Bulb Garden?

I had a plunge bed built years ago with stainless steel.  I went to a place that does  stainless steel  products for kitchens.

Its 3 x 7 feet six inches high, lip on top if folded over to prevent scarping and cutting my hands as I reach in.  Put a drain spout on the lower part on one end  in case I had to drain water out.  Filled with a combination of gravel and sand.  All kinds of things have popped in in it.  The Othonnas seem to like it best.

The next edition of the Bulb Garden is in the mail to all members of record of July 15, 2023.

If you do not receive it in two weeks let me know privately at Arnold140@verizon.net.

Bulbs have a habit of sulking when moved.  The Eremurus have a minimal tunic and I'd guest prone to drying.

The spotted lantern fly has three to four instars before you see the adult with wings.

I picked up a small infrared camera lens that plugs into my iPhone.
