The earth continues to warm up and opening to reveal new life. The brown of winter is slowly fading and being replaced with fresh green growth.
My thoughts are focusing on spring planting and new projects. After the dreary winter, I am again interested in looking for new photos to post.
I will be joining the Six on Saturday group again after my winter absence. You can join us there. Post some photos of your own from your blog. Just follow the instructions there. Jim Stephens is our host. Here is the link https://gardenruminations.co.uk.
The hybrid hellebore is very beautiful this spring. This was gifted a few years ago by a fellow gardener. It is responding very well in its “happy spot”.
The white Camellia japonica is outstanding. It is now about 7 years old and it is still far from mature size.
This holly is covered with berries. We have migrating Cedar wax wings that come through in February. They will strip the berries as they “fuel up” for the remainder of their northward journey.
This Camellia japonica is unlabelled. I think it is “Professor Sergeant”. It is magnificent indeed and mature at about 15 feet.
The paper bush is a unique arching plant. It has a sweet fragrance.
This tiny salamander was found on a field trip that I was on a week ago. The field trip was part of my work to complete the requirements to qualify for my Alabama Master Naturalist Certificate. I only have two more modules to complete.
I am glad to be back posting. Happy gardening!

This week, it was the Edgeworthia and camellia ‘Sea Foam’ that caught my eye. Especially the camellia, because maybe I don’t have a camellia of this color and so beautiful . Bravo for the salamander! Here we have a lot of newts.
I also saw many captured snakes kept at the Nature Center. I will one of those photos to share in another post.
Yay, Spring is on its way.
Lovely to see your garden is reawakening! It is refreshing to see some flowers in bloom. Love that tiny salamander. 😃
