Love the spring evergreen growth. This was a pitiful rescue plant that is developing very nicely.

Interesting growth on our larch.

Such colorful new growth on this little guy!


Thread leaf peony. It’s loaded, though I’ve never counted!

Here’s the tree peony in full bloom that was posted las time. The flowers are not huge, but make up for it in quantity.

Tree peony “Lilith”. Her flowers are large fragrant and such a treat.

Sorry for the blur. The red buckeye is a magnet for the hammers.

Indoors is blooming too!

Just too pretty not to include.
