I love Cosmos.

Save the Monarchs

Save the Monarchs by planting milkweeds.

And I love Asclepias tuberosa (butterfly weed) anyway.

Tulips

Various tulips from around the garden.

Trillium

Too few blooms impoverish the view.

This clump has a long way to go, but it has been steadily increasing, even though it still only has one blossom.

If you want trilliums, you have to plant trilliums.

A lot of trilliums.

Hyacinths

Planted Fall 2009.

Purchased from Shady Acres Nursery.

Excellent fragrance.

Crabapple

The crabapple trees were in full bloom when Elizabeth was born (April 26) and have never bloomed that early since.

They are only a few days behind this year, which is way ahead of average.

Skunk Cabbage

Symplocarpus foetidus

Good article by a fan of the skunk cabbage.

I would love to have some.
