Springing up

Top photo Hepatica americana
Second photo Skimmia japonica

Just yesterday I discovered the Hepatica americana unfurling. It is a native wildflower, one of the first to show signs of life. You can almost watch it open up, this plant wasn't there in the morning, but was in the afternoon.

The Skimmia japonica is about to burst also. When it blooms it has a beautiful fragrance.
