Bloodroot ( Sanguiria canadensis)
After such a long winter, the garden in April is a thrill!
May apples (Podophyllum peltatum)
The May apples begin like little umbrellas
Red Trillium (Trillium erectum)
These trilliums will have gorgeous garnet-red blooms
Scilla
This patch of blue began as a dozen little bulbs many years ago..
Woad (Isatis tinctoria)
Testing the germination of some woad seeds. Despite cold, wet and windy weather, so far, so good.
