An embarrassment of flowering riches, really, for Cleveland in March. And yet I'm most excited about two newly discovered buds. The amaryllis that I blogged out in my previous post, and this:
That soon-to-be beauty is a bud on my Paphiopedilum Canticle x Macabre Pie--last shown here, in February's foliage follow-up, with its dead previous bloom stalk still intact. I picked it up this fall on clearance, as the last flower on the previous stalk was fading, so I never expected rebloom so soon. I can't wait to see it!
For a proper showing of actual spring beauties across the northern hemisphere--and maybe even some "fall" jewels from our friends south of the equator--visit Carol's March GBBD Roundup post at May Dreams Gardens.

aloha,
aren't phaps exciting especially when they are just starting to develop buds....congrats
It we don't have sun today, and it isn't supposed to be sunny, I will only have a few buds to show too. Your orchid bud is very exciting. I hope all pops open soon. Happy GBBD.
That's so excited, can't wait to see. I do love the buds too, always very graceful.
Exciting presentation of the buds. Spring is headed your way.
Good morning! I love this shot of the bud. He, here in frigid Ohio we will take whatever blooms and color we can get this winter.Sounds like you have a few blooming to keep you going until spring. ;-)

Your lonely little snowdrops from your previous post made me smile. The Orchid is very exciting, I can't imagine being able to get one to rebloom. It has such great foliage too.
The foliage on your paph is one of my favorites and I can't wait to see what this 'good buy' looks like in flower! I hope spring arrives quickly and stays awhile. gail
Spring is where you find it, and sometimes that necessarily is indoors! I had plenty going on outside this time. I have never had that much luck with orchids, but I do love to look at them.
You are getting close to a fab bloom.
