Spring springs eternal. Or around here, at least three times. This is peak number 2 of 2023 Spring.
Bleeding heart in bloom.
This is the flaming bush from the old testament (as far as I know anyway).
For more bluebells, see this posting.

It’s early for the peak. But the peak it is along the banks of the Shenandoah.
Romey looks like a bluebell too.
Moonshine does not look like a bluebell. Nor does he smell like one.
There are also other flowers available.

The bluebells are peaking in mid-April this year (a bit early), so we are outta here, headed to Norway for more winter. Because we, um, actually we think we’re nuts.
Here are some pictures from the daily walk.

Virginia is gorgeous in the Spring. Flowers everywhere you look, even hidden in the grass. And miles and miles of bluebells by the river. There is nowhere I would rather be.

It’s Spring. Time for new leaves and new arrivals at the Apothecary Shed.

They come from the great white north where there is still snow on the ground.
