The azaleas and the polygonatum and tiarella are all blooming.
I'm still watching every hosta to break ground. I think that I'm lookiing forward to the ligularias. The get so big and wild looking so quickly. I put three new hydrangeas in last year so that should be fun. I'm also hoping that my silver lady ferns will come back. We had a big freeze here and I'm pretty concerned. Some are beginning but five show no sign. Here's a photo.
