Another Survey of the Yard

Yep, the spotted leaves of the yellow trout lily are up and the blossoms are super. As you can see the flowers attract a plethora of bees, wasps, beetles, and other insects.

The primroses are also starting their rapid growth. Flowers are going to be plentiful this year. Shakespeare mentions primroses in several of his plays making them popular in Shakespearean themed gardens. A vast amount of folk-lore and legend surrounds these bright flowers including the belief that the proper amount of primroses planted around a rock would create a fairy ring. Wouldn't you love to see if you could create a fairy wonder-land in your garden?

And then there are ramps! I can not dig these since they were planted in memory of James Phares. I am hoping they will cover the hillside.
