GREEN.

 "Plants do not speak, but their silence is alive with change...." 
            -May Sarton (Plant Dreaming Deep)

Green. Everything is green these days. The perennials are  popping up fast and furious.  
                              Lemon Balm
While in the greenhouse, the annuals wait with bated breath. Their turn is coming.....soon.

Lilies in the early morning. Waiting for their blooms....
 Alchemilla mollis ( Lady's Mantle) It grows everywhere and anywhere....

 Roses. Lots of roses. Still green.
 Prairie Crocus ( also known as Windflower) has survived the muck of winter. 
 Hot purple Clematis. Re-potted. Much happier it is....
 Native Cranesbill.... Another perennial that  seems to  live on the wind and find a home wherever it wishes.
 Rock wall.  Perennial Hydrangea, Perennial sweet peas, Dragon's blood, Cranesbill...
 Iris. Yellow. It was a goner last year........but it's green this year.
 Rain.
  Campanula. and 40 year old Rhubarb. I  trucked that rhubarb  across the country , leaving a chunk of it everywhere we lived. Last year it was Dead. Gone.  This year it  decided to come ALIVE.....
