Ah! You've coaxed the professor out of winter digging doldrums.

There are three plants distinctly blooming in this photograph, taken April 22, 2005.

Left to right, the obviously blooming shrubs are Viburnum x juddii; V. x 'Cayuga'; and V. x 'Eskimo'.

To the left of Judd is V. x bodnantense 'Dawn' with the Picea omorika directly behind it. Directly behind Judd is V. dilatatum 'Erie'. To the right of 'Eskimo' are three plants of V. nudum 'Winterthur'.

And I just noticed: to the right, but down in front of the 'Winterthur', one can make out a little bit of V. carlesii 'Aurora' (most of it is behind the Chamaecyparis growing in the foreground far right).

Here are the same plants shown from a different direction on April 21, 2006 (a year later, for the chronologically challenged).

'Dawn' is on the very near left. Judd is next with essentially no flowers left blooming. 'Cayuga' is next, past peak bloom. 'Eskimo' is next to the right at absolute peak. The foliage taking up the right edge of the picture is part of a big Cornus mas 'Golden Glory'.
