It seemed like it would never get here, but spring is erupting throughout my woodland.
Here's what I found on a survey of my woods today.
#1 is winter aconite (eranthis).
#2 is Adonis foliage bursting into spring.
Another early spring woodland bloomer with neatly dissected foliage.
Unfortunately, it hasn't yet bloomed for me, despite healthy foliage each year.
#3 is a double galanthus. I can't remember which one.
#4 is a double hepatica just starting to open.
I discovered him as I was clearing away the winter leaf cover today.
Since it's supposed to snow tonite/tomorrow, I covered him back up - after taking his picture, of course.
#5 hellebores getting started. Only takes 1-2d of decent weather and they start blooming immediately. They won't be fazed by expected temps tomorrow night in the teens.
It''s always exciting to start the annual spring ritual.
Can't wait to see what's coming to life next weekend.
What's blooming in your neck of the woods?
