Some of my favorite woodland plants are coming up finally.
Some less common than others, so I thought I'd share some pictures
so anyone else with a wooded yard can get some ideas.
#1 is a very cute plant (aren't they all?) called chloranthus japonicus.
It's been in the ground 2-3 yrs and you can see it now has mutiple shoots coming up.
The flowers are neatly contained within the emerging foliage.
#2 is maybe my fave of all time (I can't resist posting pictures each year - it's too beautiful!)
which is the double bloodroot (sanguinaria canadensis multiplex (or plena)).
#3 is anemone hortensis with beautiful saturated purple flowers.
It is also 2-3 yrs old and is putting up multiple flowering stems.
#4 is anemonella thalictroides. I have many of the named cultivars, but this is the species.
It is spreading nicely amongst the dead leaves of the woods.
Finally #5 is a very strange hepatica. I love hepatica and have many.
Most of them aren't emerging yet. But I've got this one labeled hepatica japonica,
which has two-toned flowers and is starting to bloom now. It was outstanding last year.
I'm hoping this weekend it will be fully open. My other hepaticas look to be a couple weeks away still.
Hope you enjoyed the tour!
