So, as always, I’m late getting these posted (half of the reason is that multi-image uploads always fail from the fucking WP app and piss me off so I don’t even want to bother anymore). Anyway, it may be chilly and grey on the first day of sprang, but sprang is sprangin’ whether the weather knows it or not! These were taken on the 15th, when it was less freezing, windy, and dismal.

Mini daffodils. Wish these weren’t so hard to find; they really are very cute! The mini tulips I planted at the same time as these are long dead, but the daffy-down-dillies seem pretty tough.

Old faithful Canadian ginger is beginning to unfurl beneath its blanket of leaves, spiky balls, and the mulch I actually put there intentionally. I love this stuff; it isn’t really useful for birbs or flutter-guys (though I’m told that Pipevine Swallowtail will use it in a pinch), but it’s pretty, it’s tough as all hell, and it’s native. What’s not to love?

Just starting to see a little bloomage on the Allegheny sprurge (no WAY could I get the word “Pachysandra” in my head today!). It looks a bit worse for wear, but in fairness to the plants, it is in a difficult spot. I’ll be content as long as it survives, and if it can manage to spread a little, I’ll be overjoyed.
