I got the turtlehead cut back, and sedums, and I potted up the cuttings. They are both supposed to root easily.
Jim cut off the cracked branch on the river birch behind the berm, and we trimmed a lot of the wayward branches. It's better.
The doublefile viburnum is in full bloom, and the camassias are coming out.
I love how the bridge and dry creek bed and the whole back of the property are looking.
Aronias are blooming and the Orange Dream Japanese maple continues to be bright and colorful.
The entire Birch Garden looks a little funny, with small mounds of everything. The wood hyacinths, scillas, are blooming but are all a muted silver purple, very somber.
The large alliums are opening. They are striking, but the foliage and the sheer size don't do much in front of the patio wall. After blooming is over, I might move them to the empty spot near the butterfly bush at the back of Meadow's Edge. The foliage will be covered by the buddleia as it emerges, so late in the spring.
Tiarellas look great this year.
Both of the gauras in the front walk made it through winter and are leafing back out.
