Linden Leafs Out
New, translucent leaves line the linden branches. Below is a sketch of a linden seedling. Who would ever imagine that the seed leaves of a linden would look like that!
We have reached the point where it would be easier to list the trees that haven't leafed out than those that have. Even locusts and sumac have leafed out. (Well, some sumacs have emerging leaves; others don't yet.)
The first wild geranium blooming.
A cinnamon fern fiddlehead.
Shooting stars bloom. For years I have had these in my garden; this is the first year they are finally happy enough to flower!
Also flowering: lilacs are beginning to open flowers -- yesterday each cluster had 1-2 open flowers; today they have 5-6. Redbuds are in peak flowering mode. Serviceberries are shedding petals.
