But I do have a few lovely blossoms to share with you. It's amusing to me that only one color of crocus will bloom each week. This week was white and purple variegated:
The periwinkle also decided to wake up and pop into bloom.
Several of the plants I ordered from online nurseries showed up this week, too. Love that they have to be planted as soon as they arrive - so there I was, sick with a head cold and allergies, out working in the dirt. Most of the plants are just roots, so a picture wouldn't be very useful. But I do have these two that have actual leaves:
These are Goat's Beard plants - they look a little like a fern until they send up white shooting fronds. I saw these in Shenandoah National Park last year - they are just beautiful. At the time, there were some of these trying to grow in my backyard. They died. Now I'm hoping that these in the front yard will do a little better.
Hope you're enjoying spring where you are!
