the tree garden in early spring
Jack Frost and a small Fritillaria
Johnny Jump-Ups, gotta love ‘em
This peony is recovering this year after I divided it last year. This was a gift from my sister on my 35th birthday, and is a juicy red when it blooms too.
Grape Hyacinths are sweet under the tree. The spade-shaped leaves are lily-of-the-valley.
Frittilaria, or as my friend called it “skunk.” 
It is a magnificent plant, beautiful orange-red bells, but smells horrible. Don’t plant it next to a window!
