Hello Kris,
Believe Paul has already answered this one for you. The word itself simply
means of short duration, but the terms has come to be used to apply to the
perennial woodland early spring bloomers that go dormant after the trees have
leafed out in late spring and early summer. Trillium, Twin Leaf, Virginia
Bluebells would be some examples. Of course, not all early bloomers go dormant....
Merry bells or Uvularia stick around until frost. This is touched upon a bit in my
newsletter Garden Clippin's on the web site.
