Many others in this group have written about the joy of seeing first
flowers on plants grown from seed.

Today the first flowers opened on a pot of Erythronium revolutum, seed
collected 5 years ago on a local mountain trail. I counted 17 buds, so will
have flowers for a couple of weeks. From the size of leaves, this pot of
bulbs is already producing offsets, so will be decanted this summer when
dormant, and the bulbs divided between garden and pot. Meanwhile, the
lowland E. revolutum is growing its seed pod, having been in flower a month
ago.

In local woods, leaf out is underway, with hardwood trees' leaves about
1/3-1/2 open. Lovely light greens to gold colors.

Cheers,
Kathleen
