I spent three afternoons this month at Hollywood Cemetery, evaluating the roses in preparation for our Rose Volunteer Day on March 10. The roses are still sleeping, but there are other plants springing to life.
A maple tree in full bloom.
A clump of snowdrops on a family plot.
Winter Jasmine.
Lawn full of tiny purple crocuses along one of the main avenues.
More crocuses.
During a walk in downtown Fredericksburg last week, I saw this lovely patch of snowdrops.
A friend and I were looking at a cabin near Harrisonburg on Monday. The owner of the property was obviously a gardener.
A huge naturalized patch of Winter Aconite.
More Aconite, in another part of the yard.
Snowdrops. I really love these!
Here in my yard, it's the beginning of Hellebore season.
Yesterday and today have been unseasonably warm ... 80 degrees both days with blue sky and bright sunshine. It's been glorious!!
