Catching up with Spring

Even if it's May, I still have to document the lovely spring we had! At least before it's summer.

The crocuses had a banner year. They spread further on the lawn than we've ever seen them. Mom and I debated adding yellow into the mix but decided to wait on it for now. We still haven't found out what variety of crocuses they are - despite Anna's bulb book. Not species - they're too big.



The scilla looked lovely as always, but are slowly creeping toward the neighbor's yard. All the chinodoxa already moved next door - I don't want to lose the scilla too!







As you can see - we had a wild winter with lots of branches down! One large limb on the maple in front, but no damage to the Japanese dogwoods or the pear trees. The pear trees didn't really bloom this year. They must be taking a break.
