Blooms 2011 #3

I like it too. Same for paperbark maple, which I have.

We have a RiverBirch next to the garage. DO NOT ever put one in that proximity to your driveway.
It sheds all year round.
Winter, small and medium limbs,everywhere.
Spring,Catkins that track into the house and blow into the garage,
Late spring ,seed huske that need to be swept everyday.They also track into the house.
Summer. dry weather makes the leaves drop,
Fall. guess what,leaves.
Beautiful to look at but should be in a field of their own.

Never thought of that, Jo, but you're right! Here's some stuff blooming in the shade garden....white bleeding heart....

Tiarella....

Epimidium......

Nice Robin!

Pretty

Didnt think this long blooming hellebore could look better than it did in April BUT !!!

Love this epimedium in shade.

What a ton of blooms on that hellebore, gorgeous!

nice jo and marilyn

Thanks all
its 2 years old bought as a big plant gallon.
Marilyn your epimedium you gave me in '08 is just beautiful. It doesnt photo well in full sun. Bronze leaves and the teeniest blooms. I will try to photo tomorrow AM.

Is that the purple one? Mine is blooming now, but the flowers are tiny.....that hellebore is a beauty! Does anyone grow vernal pea? Short & bushy, it's blooming now.....I saw one next door to my friend's condo, and one at WFF, but I liked the one I couldn't have better.....

Gorgeous photos!
