The drive home was full of beautiful blooming plants. The pears had just about completed blooming, and the yoshino cherries, redbuds, and dogwoods dotted the landscapes with splashes of color. It has been a busy week. We arrived home from our Florida trip late Sunday night and I spent the week catching up on mail, phone calls, email and work. It is Saturday and the sun is shining for the first time in a few days and the temperature here in he Midwest is 59 degrees. Seeing all the beautiful plant material in Florida made me anxious to get out into my own landscape to inspect plant material. I just came in from a walk through my landscape. One of my favorite perennials is Hellebores. The hellebores are one of the earliest flowering perennials - slow to take off and multiply but well worth the wait. Mine are in full bloom. The daffodils are blooming; my ornamental pear is beginning to flower, and the flowering cherry, stewartia, weeping redbud, and magnolia have buds pushing forth.
