Some nice Spring flowers are blooming. In addition to lilacs, there are the apples of course. And this Prairie Fire crabapple, that I planted about 8 years ago.
Someone on the old GardenWeb site said it wouldn't grow here. Obviously wrong. I don't believe everything I read.
An Iris germanica and some Camassia.
I like the Camassia because they are native, and because deer and rabbits don't eat them.
Some Hyacinthoides. In town, these are invasive. Here at my country place, they have a hard time establishing. I think herbivores eat them. A few clumps survive.
An Iris florentina, in the woods border. It gets almost no care - no watering and only weeding when I can. These, and the I. germanica, are much earlier than most bearded iris.
