I think my favorite ephemeral is the trillium. I find its mottled leaves are so pretty against the leaf litter.
That Narcissus 'Bell Song' is very pretty. Love that delicate pink color.
ReplyDeleteIt is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to email you in regards in any possible advertising opportunities you may have with your website. I'm looking to earn support for a national cause and get visibility for the "plant 1 billion trees" project. Let me know if you would be interested at all in supporting this cause or if you want more information on it. I look forward to talking to you soon!
Great quotes and great spring flowers. My favorite quote is the one about a sunny spring day being the best tranquilizing agent. How true!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather pay for flowers than a shrink. :D
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, Spring has certainly arrived in style in Tennessee. Your weeping cherry is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's young but makes a good show. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteTrillium reminds me of a frog in a way. Nature mocking nature…
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting perspective.
ReplyDeleteThe drooping cherries are so beautiful in shades of pale pink and the narcissus too. The trillium leaves would remind me of army fatiques.
