I was out of town over the weekend; arrived home at dusk.
As luck would have it, I missed our first 'spring' weekend here in St Louis.
Temp was in 60's when I got home. Sounds like it was nice yesterday also.
I rushed out in the waning light to see if anything was springing to life.
I found a corydalis (c. solida Dieter Schacht) starting to bloom.
My woodland peonies (this one is paeonia willmottiae) are robustly putting up stems.
Trilliums are coming up (this is trillium underwoodii).
And the lonely little scilla pictured last week buried by snow is finally able to strut his stuff.
Unfortunately I'm going to miss next weekend too.
I suspect spring will be leaping into action, since it's a few weeks behind schedule.
I'm ready for it!
