Galanthus elwesii (giant snowdrops) |
When we moved to our new house the yard was virtually empty, except for a few mature trees. I have slowly replaced the expanse of empty lawn with gardens full of my favorite plants: old garden roses, peonies, clematis, iris, geraniums, lilies, and more. I need these gardens to be reasonably low-maintenance so I'm emphasizing long-lived perennials, flowering shrubs and evergreens. I'm also growing vegetables and some fruit - all organic.

Finally...
... my first bloom of the season. Snowdrops!
I know it's not much, but these few modest little flowers have incredible power to cheer my winter-ravaged soul. The garden has officially awakened! Better late than never.
