Inspiration for Tuesday, April 14 – 2009

Glow
I had to go out in the rain yesterday as the daffodils were trying so hard to bloom in the gloom of the day that they were glowing. For those of us who experience winter, daffodils are the ray of hope in the Spring that keep us going until it decides to really warm up. We are still below freezing at night, so the daffs are quite short this year.

Mystery
These purple leaves turning green surprised the heck out of me when I was out poking around in the mulch, so I wanted to share them today also. There is nothing better than finding a surprise in your garden in the Spring. My sister gave me bluebells and Solomon’s seal last year. Perhaps these are the bluebells. After the upheavals of winter, my labels are inconclusive of what is where!
Maggi – I love surprises! Will keep you posted as to the i.d. of my mystery plant. V.
Lovely that you have got the daffodils to look forward to. They are almost over in the UK. The purple leaves don’t look like bluebells or Solomon’s Seal so you might have a surprise in store.
