It’s Spring. It’s beautiful weather. The grass is waking up and the predominant color is quickly becoming green.
We had frost early this week and even a snow shower but the next ten days will be frost free. In fact, our likelihood for any more frost is very low.
The birds have been very active and more butterflies are appearing.
Here is the challenge. Take 6 photos and post them. I will be doing that with the Six on Saturday group tomorrow. Here is the link https://gardenruminations.co.uk/.
The Japanese maple has leafed out. I think this is Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’. It is doing nicely in a large container.
The Limelight cuttings on the right is a spring project. All 20 cuttings taken 2 weeks ago seem to be thriving.
The Spanish bluebells (Hyacinthoides) are very impressive this spring.
The Ajuga is a volunteer but it is serving as a welcome groundcover. It is a welcome addition.
The daffodil is all alone in its part of the garden. I have forgotten the cultivar.
The Amaryllis is a surprise. I bought the bulb in the fall and forced it in the house for the Christmas decoration. After it had bloomed, I planted it in the yard for summer blooming. It quickly recycled and bloomed early in the yard.
Those are my 6 for today. What are your 6?
Happy Gardening!!

What a lovely surprise, this amaryllis! You’re not protecting it right now? Aren’t you worried about it freezing? Beautiful photo of the Trillium
No. Our frost threat is near zero for the next two weeks so I am taking the risk.
Well done with the Limelight cuttings. I hope they continue to do well.
I tried this two springs ago and half of them survived.
Love the trillium! I used to see quite a bit in Seattle – here, some varieties are around, but they are not where I am. My daffodils are in a holding pattern despite early emergence. I think they will bloom in a few weeks, sooner if weather stays warm, but I do not think it will. We are not past frost yet. I even had frosted tomatoes at the end of May one year. I do long for Seattle, where I would have snow peas beginning to climb by now. Soon! The birds here are more active as well. I hear them singing away!
Your acer is beautiful and much further on than my various unnamed ones. The amarylis is a wonderful surprise!
