spring
Ahhh.. I do love to see the early spring wild flowers come up. These are two that I have missed some years because they bloom so early and for so few days - especially the twin leaf.
The top pic is hepatica. It flowers before the leaves appear.
The second pic is the twin leaf. The flowers will only stay on the stalk a day or so after they open. In this pic the flowers haven't fully opened yet.
Thought I had a pic of the pulminaria but I guess I didn't. It is unusual - spotted leaves and small pink flowers.
Puttering around in the back yard today. Raking a bit and doing a bit of pond maintenance. The weather is great.
