Home From Shepherdstown

We arrived home his past Tuesday to the glory of our flower gardens. Before we left the daffodils were not in bloom. Upon arriving at the house, we were greeted by "bundles" of yellow and white flowers.


The Linten Roses are just about to see their last blooms. They are actually of the Butter Cup family. Their flowers bloom during the Easter celebration of Lent, leading the vernal procession of color in the shady areas of thoughtful perennial gardens. I just love it when internet sites state "When they are not in bloom they remain as lush ground cover throughout the year; and they are deer proof".
NOT IN OUR YARD!



Bloodroot! Yes, a true harbinger of spring has bloomed in the shade garden.

Will keep you all up on what is currently blooming on our Gilmer county "estate". (Estate? Well, yard!)
