Thanks Jim.....the weather is turning Thursday..back to cold and cloudy so the garden will be on hold for a while I'm afraid. One more warm day tomorrow so we'll see if anything else opens.

I took some quick close ups of some of the Astragalus that are in bloom today. I have to admit that most of these I have not keyed out yet so I don't know their names, all come from wild collected seeds that are chucked into the rock pile. I grow things somewhat spartan(no fertilizer and little to no water and "soil" that is almost devoid of organic matter) so it usually takes a year or two (or three) before these darn things begin to bloom before they go dormant for the summer. More or less variations on a theme.

Great stuff, Todd! Especially fond of the pink Hepatica! as well as pink Helleborus, and how can you not love Iris Kathleen H
Jim- fantastic peas- and I think variations on a theme are one of the delights of a garden!

Fabulous, Todd! The long weekend remained cool here... warmish periods of sunshine and breezes, interspersed with little snow squalls, so there will be no such sights to be had for time!
Jim, terrific astragalus! It's interesting to see the foliage variations too.

Jim, what a selection! I have always had a soft spot for all kinds of pea. My first herbarium contained solely native plants of the pea family - 68 if I remember right.

Another glorious day in Newfoundland and more glorious flowers open! It comes to a crashing end tomorrow when we get heavy rain and then the possibility of snow on Friday.

A glorious day, what is that? Yesterday I had sunshine for a couple of hours and the temperature reached +9C for a minute.
Nice to see your plants coming though - you'll soon catch me up

Helleborus 'Pink Frost' is shedding pollen so I guess I can say it is truly in bloom now.

So lovely, but so ephemeral.

Mark, you are lucky
My multiplex or whatever they are called are completely destroyed by hail and slugs
The hail destroys the petals and the slugs are devouring the mess.

That's suuch a shame, Trond. Slugs always seem to go for the best plants.

Keep the pictures coming, it's such a delight to see the variety of species as well as the display of excellent plantsmanship. Took a few in the garden today, such as they are.
Lewesia tweedyi at about peak bloom
Eryoginum caespitosum
Trifolium owyheensis
Trillium Chlorapetalum and Asarum hartweggii (both in bloom though you would not know the ginger was)
Astragaulus unknown
Clematis scottii
things are getting ready to take off blooming wise so i will not be able to keep up.
