Just got back in town. 4 boxes of plants waiting for me on the porch!
Nice homecoming! Here are just a couple pictures of plants blooming last Friday.
The one I was particularly interested to see is a pink bloodroot.
I had a 'pink' bloodroot a few yrs ago; only the faintest pink if you used your imagination.
This one was supposed to be more clearly pink, so I decided to give it a try.
Here it is; a nice pink on the outside, but still white interior.
My native bloodroots are also blooming (#2).
I have broad swaths of native bloodroot which have naturalized extensively in the woods.
My puschkinia was just budding, probably open now. I like the striped buds (#3).
Finally, a couple more corydalis. #4 is c. solida transylvanica.
I'm not sure which corydalis #5 is - as usual, lost the tag. A nice rich purple.
I'll get to a garden survey in the next day or two to see what's new.
