More Spring Beauty

More and more everyday I fall deeper in love with this place I call home. I am also ever more grateful to the people who originally built this place and planted nearly everything you see in these pics around here. And I'm especially gratefully to the plants that have withstood 7 years of neglect since they moved out and started renting this place out. Some of these plants have come up as a complete surprise such as this Valerian growing in one of my favorite mossy patches in the front yard.


The lovely Rowan that we got to see in Berries when we first moved in is promising to burst into flowers any day now...


The Columbines are finally starting to bloom into a lovely violet colored flower, which was kind of a fun surprise, as I had no idea what color they were going to be...


This is a Wild Ginger plant we transplanted from a nearby forested area recently...


Periwinkles are all over entrance to the driveway...


More transplants... Yellow Wild Violets...


Final recent transplant, Miner's Lettuce...
