Green
The woods turned green overnight. Up until yesterday, there was just a haze of buds and tiny leaves. Today almost all the trees are showing definite leaves, though still small.
Three azaleas are blooming: the bubble-gum pink one (bought several years ago from ?); the clashes-with-everything reddish-coral-magenta one (put in by the builder); and Kathleen Gable, a light warm pink color (bought last year from Shepherd Hill Farm).
The dogwoods in the woods are just starting to bloom, but the neighbors' pink varieties in front of their houses have been blooming for a few days.
I've been digging away at my renovation project, but so far have removed more old plants than put in new plants. Two things that went in yesterday were Passiflora incarnata (newly purchased) and Hosta 'Golden Tiara' (dug up from under the bubble-gum pink azalea).
I haven't taken any pictures since Tuesday, and didn't post them until this morning. There's one more tale of survival, and one of bountiful increase.
