surprises

I was cleaning up weeds in the back perennial bed- and found these tiny plants under the edges of hellebores. Pulled some up before I realized they are hellebore seedlings! I am going to move them to another spot and give them room to grow.

This plant further back, behind the younger euonymus, I think is another hellebore- and there's another one similar size under the shrub by front porch. They spread far! (I thought it was virginia creeper at first but pretty sure it's self-seeded hellebores). Which is delightful.

I definitely know this one- it's a self-seeded heartleaf brunnera 'jack frost'. Wonderful!

Very small still- here next to its parent plant:

I already showed this spring surprise- the reappeared mayapples- but they've opened further so here's another picture of my happiness
