The
Celandine Poppies,
Stylophorum diphyllum, are back!
What's not to love about them! Blossoms to their filigree foliage they delight faithfully and prolifically each and every year.
I love how plants propagate, too. Can you see the little lemon green dot? Do you know what it is? A
Mayapple,
Podophyllum peltatum! I have a colony in the lower end of the woodland gardens, but this is the first satellite from the mother ship. What joy!
Barrenwort,
Epimedium sulphreum. I love it's little butter and lemon colored flowers and it's leave form a wonderful ground cover.
Hyacinth,
Hyacinth orientalis--the blue ones are my favorite!
Flowering Quince, Cydonia oblonga, some variation. This one actually bears fruit but remains in the form of a bush versus the more apple-like varieties. I love the provenance of this plant. It started out in a relatively compact region of China, and today it's cultivated in significant numbers in Japan, Korea, Australia, India, Iran, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Serbia, Turkey, Algeria, Morocco, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina and the north eastern region of the United States.
Two Spring favories:
Virginia Bluebells,
Mertensia virginica and
Pachysandra,
Pachysandra terminalis.
And here the Bluebells are migrating, too!
Bleeding Heart,
Lamprocapnos spectabilis.
