Re: more pics posted
The photos are indeed gorgeous.
As I plod through this gray rainy spring, it has dawned on me that, even
with grey skies, and just some bulbs blooming so far (Chionodoxa are
unbelievably blue!) , this is the season I love the most. BEFORE everything
is up and open. Seeing the starts, the old favories and the more recently
planted lovelies, poking their noses out of the ground to see if it's safe
to come out. I get giddy as more an more of them say, "ok, it's time." A
week ago there was no sign of life in the Anemone nemerosa 'Robinson' patch;
suddenly they're all up and beginning to unfurl their leaves, while on the
plain A nems flower buds have begun to appear and A ranunculoides is already
6 in tall with buds.
I watch for signs of life on Paeonia obovata, even though I know it is
always later than the rest, but P.japonica is showing rapid growth. New
buds on shrubs give me such delight and my Magnolia, which I thought was
dying, still has nice buds. It's all these fresh starts that liven up the
garden in ways somehow more glorious than full growth, that make me smile as
I trudge back and forth cleaning, digging, and potting.
