Plants are waking up

 

I have two bushes started from Mama's Camellia at 509 M Street SE, Auburn, WA,

the house where I grew up. The original plant would be 75 years old.

The lavender clematis on our East fence is showing signs of life.

My Rosemary bush on the north side of the garage is happy there. I won't move it again.

Primroses seem to be happiest this time of year. They are one of the first harbingers of spring.

The Rhododendron buds are getting fat. Percy Wiseman in the foreground.

I have many Autumn Blush sedum plants now, all from a tiny start from artist-friend, 
Betty Jo Fitzgerald, many years ago.

Another one of the firsts for Spring, the Helleborus by our front door.

Every summer when this Bleeding Heart dies back,  

I'm sure it is gone forever but each Spring it reappears.
