Hosta Creek

My friend Suzie, sent me this Castle. Of course, the Queen does need a castle.
I need to pick up some crushed glass to make a moat around the castle.

Hosta Creek

And here is Hosta Creek today

Arisaema Sikokianum

Asian Jack in Pulpit. Now I hope it will set seeds. I've read it produces a lot of seeds but a very low rate of germination. This particular variety can reach a mature height of 30 inches. One of the plants I have added along Hosta Creek.

Another year, another May, another freeze

Yes, again. Monday night we went below freezing for a short time. Not as much damage as last year, but the bigger hosta suffered the most. Drat! And they were looking so good too.

Hosta War Paint

First leaves of hosta War Paint unfurling. The coloring is fantastic in early spring, then later it turns all green for the summer.

Some spring blooms

Alliums - members of the onion family. Meleagris, aka, Checkered Lily. Mother Nature has a steady hand to paint this one. And Fritillaria uva vulpis. Another early bloomer.
