Azalea blooms in hot colors . . .
attracting more than just human visitors.
Daffodils come in more than mere yellow.
A new sprout of the non-native Japanese painted fern slowly unfurls to display its multi-hued fronds.
A patch of immature Trout lily (erythronium americanum) unexpectedly surfaces in my fern garden. Not long ago, the fern garden was part of a woodland forest. The Trout lilies must be a remnant of that time. I can't wait until they are mature enough to bloom.
I'm seeing blue with a mix of periwinkle (Vinca minor) and Grape hyacinths (Muscari). They grow together on a curved berm built out of sod that has come from flower beds built over twenty years.
What would spring be without violets - thousands of violets?

Love those azaleas and daffodils ! I have lots of wild trout lilies but it'll be a few more weeks till they're in bloom. I may just post some. again.
Really like those white blossoms ... beautiful place !
Everything looks so alive!
Lovely shots--waiting for the daffodils here in Maine. We still have lots of crocuses and chionodoxa.
Gorgeous dafs!
