Little Things

I finally moved the Japanese Forest Grass, Hakonechloa macra, I bought five years ago to a sunnier location a few weeks ago when I saw it beginning to stir. This grass is supposed to grow in the shade. I have high quality shade and for five years it sat there and did nothing. The best I can say is that one of the two survived.

I think a lot of plants listed for shade really only tolerate it. They would do better with more sun. That is more true at my elevation where cool is the rule even in full sun. I don't need to worry about plants over heating up here.

The yellow trillium I bought has returned. Return is good. Multiplication is better.

Spring Beauties gather at the base of daffodils. The native spring ephemeral wild flowers are tiny little things.

Daffodils are giants by comparison.

Should I go dig some Bloodroot to add to the south side of the garden becoming? It is already present in good numbers in the NW section. It can't hurt to relocate some more. Might as well.

High on the low spot tiny little things are pushing through the leaf litter. They bloom quick and fade away before the tall Lush takes hold. I must look odd to the passersby on the scenic byway, a man with his nose pressed to the ground.
