Brilliant Forsythia
Our neighbor, Mr. Green owns this bushy forsythia. It sure provides a bright backdrop for our mailboxes.
Another Feline Visitor
This is the most recent interloper to our backyard, isn't she pretty? While not quite as wild as most of the other neighbor cats she is not exactly cuddly. She lets us pet her once in a while but
is not about to let us pick her up.

Bergenia
At one time I wanted to rip every 'elephant ear' out of my yard. I thought
them to be old fashioned (I still think they are) and boring. They also are a great hiding place for lots and lots of snails that chomp away at nearly every foliage they creep across. But over time I realized these 'old fashioned' plants were a welcome splash of pink in the earliest of spring and they fill up rockery crevices like nobody's business, leaving no room for weeds.

Narcissus
Nothing hearalds spring more than the sunshine yellow of narcissus in neighborhood flower beds.
Helleborus
No woodland garden is complete without a
helleborus or two. I could do with three or four more. I think this burgundy shade
is particularily lovely.
