Out of town last weekend, arrived this afternoon.
First order of business, of course, see what\'s blooming.
Fortunately, things are still happening.
#1 Arisaema sikokianum. I thought this was a dud, but a few years after I planted it, lo and behold, here it is! Still a small plant - hope it continues to grow.
#2 Paeonia wittmanniana. A little bedraggled from rain last night, still looking good.
#3 Chloranthus japonicas. I love this guy. White bottle-brush flowers atop vigorous spreading stems every spring.
#4 Amitostigma enomotoe. An interesting Asian orchid, which I assumed meant immediate swoon & death in our climate. But amazingly enough, it continues to thrive. Wispy grassy spring foliage topped with tiny pink blooms.
#5 Dicentra cucullaria. A volunteer, I think.
