Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - Spring is Springing...

Spring is Springing all around -
I was out raking...
See what I found?

I had to let out a "whoop!" when I saw this plant!

My mom had shared her fern leaf peony with me last Spring/Summer. I brought it home and planted it in one of the raised bed gardens. It lasted a little while, but died back. Ever hopeful, and just in case, I didn't disturb the area at all. Hoorah!! It's growing!!
Here's the clematis 'Niobe' I planted last Spring.

And my newest Hellebore, "Brushstrokes."

One of a colony of Virginia Bluebells that's becoming
quite at home in the woodland walkway...

And one of the Dutchman's Breeches I transplanted
into the Backyard Center gardens two Springs ago.

And last, but never least, is a little friend worth visiting.
He and I had a chat. And he obliged me by waiting
as I ran into the house for my camera.
What a pose! :-)
(Notice his diminutive size as compared to the oak leaf and bark.)

I was raking to the tune of several happy birds...
Spring is springing all around!
Happy Me!
