Well even though we got about 3” of snow last Sunday, it melted within a day and all looks well out in the garden. I’ll have to wait until the hostas come up a bit more but I’m hoping there was no damage . Look below for a few more things blooming today…
Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis). One of my favorites in the spring. These got moved around last year with our patio construction, so I wasn’t sure where to find them. The blooms don’t last very long at all but they’re so beautiful.
Squill (Scilla siberica). A tiny blue flower with a huge impact when grown in mass. We see fields of squill in our neighborhood this time of year.
Giant Butterbur (Petasites japonicus giganteus). This is a very unusual plant and I’ll be sure to post photos when it leafs out. The leaves are about 2-3’ wide and it spreads rapidly. Loves a shady damp place.
More hellebores (also called Lenten rose). I love these beauties and they will keep on blooming for a few weeks!
Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris). These aren’t quite blooming yet but they’re so interesting at all stages.
