This is our first spring at The Brown House, and we've got surprises popping up all over the place. It seems that scilla has naturalized in our yard, as there are hundreds of these little flowers poking through the ground. This one is the only one to actually bloom so far; it's against the south-facing part of the foundation where it's nice and warm. Lee is having great fun running around the yard and pointing out the green shoots coming up.
She also found this cluster of snowdrops behind some azalea bushes.
I love these tiny spring woodland bulbs that are brave enough to poke their heads up despite the danger of a late snowfall. After the cold March we had and the cold rainy April weather today, it's nice to be reassured that spring has indeed arrived.
