April week 2

Busy week—I didn't get out and about much. But there are several early spring bloomers just out side my door.

Natives growing in my yard include:
bleeding heart,

trillium,

shooting star,

mayapple,

golden ragwort (growing in a pot by my pond),

Jack-in-the-pulpit,
rainbow leucothoe,
and sweetshrub.

Non-native Solomon's seal is also blooming.

At my friend's Kim and Loren's house:

snowball viburnum,

David viburnum,

Alabama snowwreath,
blueberry,

and spirea.
And here's a shot from this week last year:
The national champion flowering dogwood in the Wythe neighborhood of Hampton.
