Shade Gardening: 4 sure signs of spring, 3 by Weerobin

1. Pachyphragma macrophylla.
2. Our ubiquitous bloodroot - just getting started. Native - I didn't plant it. It's everywhere.
3. Puschkinia. Just getting ready to unfurl.
4. And my best surprise discovery of the spring, the fabled 'pink' bloodroot.
I've grown a few over the years, always with the faintest 'pinkish tinge',
frankly a little disappointing. They are fairly pink in bud - not so much in flower.
Still, I must say, from the right angle, they can be very, very beautiful.
Here are some of my pink bloodroots blooming today. I think they look great.
Maybe not quite as fabulous as my double bloodroots,
which aren't up quite yet. They should make their appearance next weekend?
We'll see.
I love spring!
