Beautiful pics everyone!

I very happily echo that! And the Tulipa 'Monsella' positively leaps off the page.

That looks like our summer!!

Beautiful, Lindsey!

That's a great contribution, Lindsey!

Auricula primulas today.



Not sure about these.



Epimediums and anemone nemorosa (yellow and blue and semi double).

Ohhh, my favorites, Primulas and Epimediums!! Totally charming!

We took a walk at our place in Pennsy over the weekend. Trees are just greening out. Coltsfoot is about done and the Troutlilies were coming up together with Tiarellas, Trilliums, Podophyllums, some Anemones, Ferns were just unfurling, Starflowers and False Cucumber. The green carpet on the forest floor consists of wild Lily of the Valley/Maianthemum) Visiting our Cyp acaule stands, many were showing buds.
The Narcissus are surely a leftover from a house long forgotten.
The Sunnies are very tame, were were amazed to see already this year's crop of babies trying to join the fray as we fed them soft bread.
I love this time of year!

Love the Trilliums, Ursula! Just beautiful scenes.
Kathy, your Primulas are such a wonderful assortment! Always a favorite.

Oh wonderful wildflowers Ursula. I must carve some time to go hiking at our High Ledges soon. I love those trilliums. We have the red here but I never see the painted....

The beautiful hayfield next door has been sold. We assume they will build-hopefully not too many homes!! We decided to ask our tree guy to put in trees. So today we added some baby hemlocks along the border. We have well established pines and spruces and firs in between these areas. The good news is that because we now will have a windbreak, I also put in a few Japanese maples (Bloodgood I assume). Hope wha is reading this!

Perhaps you get lucky. We have now a new neighbor in Pennsy, he is really cleaning up and he took down the old fence - it will stay cow pasture, but he is installing an electric fence. But, have to see how it goes, his property has beautiful spots which we have always visited throughout the Summer.
Here is the nice bonfire we were all watching. It was a regular party!

About the Painted Trillium, they are very rare at out our place too, I found in all these years only 3 plants in bloom. And the white one is a single plant which comes back year after year in the same spot.

Looks like fun! Love the white trillium. Don't you love when they come back year after year?

bloodgoods - come on now kathy you are not living dangerously:)

you should look into some japconica's they are very hardy with fantastic fall color - check out acontifolium

Beautiful photos everyone! Especially love the little double anemone and the painted trillium! Gorgeous!

I took a few more photos of Monsella today now that the clump is fully open. I also forgot to mention she is fragrant!





this lone yellow followed me from the last house! I was surprised and delighted to see him again!


More botanical tulips on the way!
