All it takes is a touch of spring and the gardener begins to stir. I've been work working three whole days in a row. That is why hundreds of snowdrops can wait until Saturday.
It helps that the gardener knows what to plant for the earliest stirrings of spring. I'm liking my not 'Diane' now that it is in full bloom. My guess is an 'Arnold's Promise' got mislabeled. The other option is 'Primavera'. It's just nice to have a prelude to the great stirring that is about to begin.
The little baby Oconee Bell, a gift from a garden visitor looks like it has set some flower buds. Those tiny red buds in the center look like flower buds to me. This rare native woodland plant survived the winter just fine. It is an early spring bloomer. After that it needs to spread. I have seen dense groundcover mats of it when it is happy.
Out there in the barren, the prelude to spring has begun. More crocus are up. I saw the tips of the first daffodils. My wild lawn is turning green.

Your "not Diane" is still quite lovely. Yellow is very cheerful.
Can't wait to see your masses of daffodils. Go Spring!!!
Yes, go Spring. Rained hard here today. Warm out.
Danna I certainly won't kick my not 'Diane' out of the garden. The daffodils usually peak around April 1st. The early ones start in March.
