Mine bloom in early April along the left side of the path in the first photo. That slopes down to the pond. They don't actually grow close to the pond but rather grow in relatively dry, rocky and poor soil areas near the pond. Maybe that's why mine are shorter and more thin leaved. The level below the path leads to the back of the pond and they grow there too. That is more like what is described as an ideal situation in situ.

I've been so busy this Spring that I've not had time to hike the property. It's mostly wooded. There's a skinny creek running through the entire length. Makes for some beautiful native wildflowers, including several species of terrestrial orchids. The only cultivated area is the kitchen garden immediately surrounding the house. I'm Mother Nature's conservator for the other acres. I used to hike and document the flora every week or so. Getting old and lazy I guess. :)
