What's Blooming

In the 60s today, cool and overcast.

We used up all the dirt!  The full 6 cubic yards is completely gone.  We cut an extension to the small garden in front of Meadow's Edge and then filled in low spots in all the existing gardens, and now it is all gone, the pavers in the driveway are cleaned up, and we are back to normal.

What looks good on May 2?  Take a look:
Lynwood forsythias are still blooming and the Bloodgood maple is leafing out
Epimediums are in bloom.  This is Rubrum, under the maple in Meadow's Edge
And Frohnleiten under the dogwood.  It's really filled out finally
Ogon spirea in Meadow's Edge really pops
cute little Geums
Forget Me Nots (Mysotis) under the Silver Cloud redbud are spreading
Magnolia Elizabeth
Kinnikinnik is blooming
Kinnikinnik up close: so pretty
Orange Dream Japanese maple leafing out; Huskers Red penstemon below

In the woods the wild cherry trees are in bloom.
