Surprise!
I love all of the surprises that come with spring. My memory
is fading and I can hardly remember what I planted last fall. So, when these
treasures come up and bloom they are like Christmas presents. Even the plants I
know are coming feel like gifts when they bloom. Each night we talk the garden
to look at what’s blooming and what’s about to. It’s like an Easter egg hunt
for gardeners!
Trillium grandiflorum
large white trillium
Mertensia virginica
Virginia Bluebells
Virginia Bluebells
Sanguinaria canadensis
Bloodroot
All of these spring ephemerals provide an early nectar source for butterflies
and other beneficial insects.
