Falling thinly, yet steadily it covers ground, then recedes and disappears. By evening it gathered force for a downpour that stuck.
Cleaning in the wildflower meadow during an afternoon lull, an ornamental Rhubarb, Rheum palmatum is revealed.
A native Sedum, possibly Sedum ternatum, clings to the top of the schoolbus sized boulder and blooms.
No clue.
The snow burst at the end of the day covered the ridge top garden in a protective blanket for the night.
The Dogwoods wait for another day.
The Azaleas good days may have been cut short.

It's pretty, but unfortunate I guess. And probably tiresome by now too. It cooled off a lot here today as well. Over 20 degrees F cooler than it was yesterday.
Could your no clue be bergenia or darmera? I have darmera with that exact same bud right now, but is that a native? Temp here at present 28 degrees.
I just worry about all the tender sprouts on things. This has to be part of the evolutionary process they are accustomed to. I just need to see it to trust it.
Today it will be sunny and 50 degrees. Tomorrow is the low low of 24 predicted. I think right now it is around 28. We have two competing thermometers.
I'm going to check out the Darmera Frances. Yep, I do think you are right Frances. There was a plant of that description in that spot by the stream last summer. It's a California native Chuck.
Lovely photos, I especially like the second one of the path in the snow with the daffodils.
Yes, it is, and I'm quite surprised to learn it grows out there. I wouldn't expect it to be that hardy. The flower's okay, but the foliage is really nice.
Phillip that is the view from the kitchen window.
Chuck the info I glnced at on the Darmera said it was from the Sierra Nevada.
It grows in any riparian environment. It grows in every riparian environment.
You'll see...the plants can take quite a snowy beating, yet rally just fine. (Guess I'm just used to it.) Now if you had this take place again in about 3 weeks, it could really impact fruit blooms/production.
