Otherwise known as the Christmas Rose and the Lenten Rose, these are definitely one of my favourite species!! Here are a few photos from early March in Vancouver:
There are so many kinds and they are so gorgeous!! They definitely brighten up those dreary spring months in the garden! I believe they originated in Turkey and were not sold in North America until 7 years ago (or was it 13?) Some people had them previously however if they ordered them from the British Horticultural Society.

Absolutely gorgeous!!
Have you heard of Moss Graffiti? You mix up moss with some starter (buttermilk, beer?), then paint it on brick or rock in patterns of your choosing...hearts, skulls, anything!! Keep it misted for a few weeks, and you will have Moss Graffiti growing wherever you want! It's got guerilla gardening all over it!!
I've heard of mixing moss in the blender for rocks but never tried it! Making designs is a great idea though! And it would be so suitable for Vancouver!!
