more plants

are springing! Peonies:

Yellow salvia:

Chrysanthemums- already I am wondering if I will follow through with all the pinching

Autumn sedums- they came back really lush!

Heartleaf brunnera- one of my favorites:

nearby, the bleeding hearts- even the foliage is pretty:

Columbine!

Turtlehead:

Cranesbill-

here's the one baby seedling of it I managed to grow in my coldhouse:

Echinacea- silly me, this is the reddish leaf I couldn't recognize.

I realized when I saw the pattern they sprouted in across the ground, and the clusters of new growth at the base of dry stalks left standing (time to cleanup)

Another pic of the blooming hellebores:

I showed the green one to my daughter, she was boggled:

Lavender I moved is sprouting new growth!

Rhubarb leafing out- maybe I will eat it after all

My forsythia doesn't bloom much, but enough I can now see it from the house window.
