4/26/12 later in the day as clouds were forming for a spring shower.
Forget me nots - love them self seeding. They grow were they want - must have moist area. Finally, finally, they are under the apple tree this year!
Don't forget to enlarge the photos!
Pink Impression with Peony unfolding over them, looking towards the forget me nots
Gunnera - planted last fall - love these big leaves - must have wet area. Royal fern behind it unfurling. I love contrasting foliage.
Rodgersia just unfurling - leaves will be large like Gunnera but lobed. Flower bud is even emerging. I have several clumps. These were not even visable last week. I love spring!
Comphrey - once you have it, you will always have it!!! Clumps have been taken from here to share. Healing herbs. Always keep some spring leaves in the freezer. Clumps stand 3 ft wide and 3 ft tall.
Jack in the Pulpit - used to have 3 - they are not liking their damp area. One estate I work on has hundreds but they are in a very very wet place.
And my favorite photo from yesterday - my old Magnolia 'Liliput' bush. Using 'portrait' on the Rebel and obtaining the blurry background!
