Sunday's flowers

Sunday I kicked around in the garden a bit then met a friend to go on a nature walk in Hillsborough. It is pouring rain right now, expected to rain the next two days as well. Not building the screened porch the until it dries up at least. Did someone mention taxes, oh my....

Back in November I planted 24 of this daffodil 'Replete'. Most are blooming right now, but the flowers are so heavy we are forced to take cuttings from those hitting the ground.

Here are the snow flakes Leucojum aestivum I planted last fall, not much of a bloom this year. Maybe next year they will burst out. We went to a meeting at the Durham Public Library and they had one of these in a solid 18 inch round clump full of blooms.

I mentioned last year that triandus Hawera daffodil was my new favorite daffodil, it still is. Planted in three places in the gardens, it is doing very well.

This Cut-leaf Toothwart Cardamine concatenata was everywhere on our walk. Most of the toothwarts seen were blooming white, pink seems to happen once in a while. Sorry to report the spring beauties were hiding as it was cold and threatening rain. If you want to see more of this flower my post from last year.

The cold frames are uncovered, we survived the 'hard' frost yesterday with no damage. I covered the peonies, columbines and bleeding hearts. Now the rain is making the peas very happy. Oh, the English Breakfast Radishes Meg planted February 21 are pretty tasty, we have been eating them since Saturday.
