These are the plants blooming today, 50 degrees, cool for the date. Accompanied by three docents, three times around, we identified all the following.

I am happy to be the first one to comment and congratulate you, Marcia, on being so knowledgeable about the native plants, and for getting this blog up and running, with some helpful pictures. I hope to learn just a fraction of the common names of the many plants you know. Thanks! E

Great pictures, including yourself! I don't understand the choice of "profiles", so chose anonymous! Diane

PS. I had a discussion with someone today on what i thought was a flowering dogwood, because it was pink. Don't they come in pink AND white? Diane
