What one day of heat will do

St. John's, NL(Zone 5b)

Well we finally got a summer-like day...clear blue skies and 23 C today. Suppose to be 28 C tomorrow! You can literally watch the leaves unfurling. Here's some gems that opened today. This is perhaps my favourite woodland plant, Glaucidium palmatum. This is the typical colour.

This gives credence to the phrase "bursting forth" with colour. Lovely Todd, it's nice to see your flowers.
