Here are some shots of things blooming in our yard right now. The top is a Bergenia - this interesting plant is evergreen and when the snow melts away the leaves look as good as the previous summer - they have a little more red color during the winter but are covered with snow anyway. the blooms are among the first to come in the spring and even beat the tulips and daffodils in our yard this year.Picture 2: the Shubert Chokecherry tree in our front yard has fresh green leaves coming out as summer advances the leaves turn dark maroon.
Picture 3: The blooms just opening on the Nanking Cherry shrub - many years this is in full bloom for Mother's day it is a little late because of the very cool weather this spring.
Picture 4: Those beautiful yellow "weeds" that every little kid loves to pick a bunch of for Mother.

It is truly amazing how such beauty comes to life out of the winter barenness. Even dandelions are beautiful. They are also quite prolific, and that is why I bought a sprayer this past week and let them bow their heads.
Prolific is correct - right now they are all around in Wpg. but somehow after the long barren spell they look pretty cheerful.
Those lovely yellow flowers are great because the kids can pick as many as they want... even from other peoples yards.. with out getting into trouble :)
I have had several bunches already. AT least I am not allergic to them .. i wish I could say the same about the Lilacs- but unfortunately I can't even have a small bunch in the house, much to Timmy's disappointment.
Enjoy a beautiful spring.
They're beautiful Jean. Its still pretty brown around here.
You are very gifted! You made the dandelions look desirable!
