This does not look like the Hosta sprouts. It looks more like a very robust version of the Asiatic Lilies.
After a couple of springs I will begin to recognize things at this stage.

Morning Stroll
A real garden is constantly changing. Looking closely reveals another pace of life. Fritillaria meleagris caught my eye this morning giving me a good indication of what another unknown foliage group is likely to be.
This does not look like the Hosta sprouts. It looks more like a very robust version of the Asiatic Lilies.
After a couple of springs I will begin to recognize things at this stage.

I popped some of those Asiatic lilies in my garden this year. Mine are a couple feet tall. I can't quite figure out how they become plants. Right now they look like tasseled snakes rearing up to strike.
I am excited about most everything in the garden too. Nancy, I am over being excited about weeds though. I am already sick of pulling them. Ha..
The tasseled snake look is the plant Chuck and then it blooms on top.
Lisa it helps if you aren't truly sure which ones are the weeds and the ones you know are weeds are pretty like the Henbit, Lamium amplexicaule. Some other weed is starting to bloom. It looks like a Mustard and may be an invasive alien that I have read about a few times. If the invasive is the one I am seeing, the battle is already lost.
Could there also be Oriental lilies and/or Trumpet lilies, Chrstopher? My old trumpets used to get to 6 feet tall in IL - don't know what Bulbarella will surprise you with!
I sure hope you don't have that horrible Garlic mustard.

At the rate you're going, I'm thinking just one spring and you'll be a local flora expert!
I'm learning a lot that is for sure Lisa.
Annie there are definately Lilies here. The question is, "How many different kinds?"
I'll look that Garlic Mustard up. Whatever it is, it is actually pretty when it blooms.
