crown imperial

My Fritillaria Imperialus are in bloom. Out of 7 bulbs, three got the heads nipped off close to the ground just as they started to develop. One grew up, but its blossoms didn't develop. So that left me with three, just like in the old photo I posted last year.

bloodroot

The daffodils, hyacinths, and a few tulips are blooming, but these bloodroot were the latest unexpected spring flowers to pop up alongside the shady side of the house.
