My dear Marsha, when I saw your title 'growing month' over on my blog roll and I just had to pop over and see what that's like. Since it's snowing here. Snowing! Mother Nature has a wicked sense of humor... Love your pics! It's all so springy, and non-snowy! :))Kate/High Altitude Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690999267357525527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466749561761906021.post-29910661215153180102010-05-02T08:42:34.224-05:002010-05-02T08:42:34.224-05:00I saw my first trillium in person this week at Gra...I saw my first trillium in person this week at Graver Arboretum.

I have tons of it and let it stray because the bees love it so much for its early flowers.<br /><br />How wonderful that you have trilliums in your yard! Your other mystery plant looks to me like it's False Rue Anemone, Isopyrum biternatum. Either that or it's Rue Anemone (Thalictrum thalictroides).sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466749561761906021.post-90816790226234474102010-05-01T13:53:42.608-05:002010-05-01T13:53:42.608-05:00May really does seem to be the month everything re...May really does seem to be the month everything really gets going here too.

I also have lamium in my shade garden, which keeps spreading, but as you say, it is fairly well-mannered. I keep digging up clumps of mine and planting them in other spots where some groundcover is needed. <br /><br />Love the blue river! This reminds me of the "river" of salvia at the Lurie Garden in Chicago. I'd love to have a mass planting of something this eye-catching. As for your mystery plant, it looks very similar to something I have that voluntarily comes up. I think it might be a weed, but I've forgotten the name, and really, it is rather pretty, so I let it stay:)<br /><br />We've had the strong winds here, too. I hope they've subsided for you and that you have a great weekend, Donna!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466749561761906021.post-51714454493271141092010-05-01T01:12:27.705-05:002010-05-01T01:12:27.705-05:00Drat, no concrete pigs here.

Do come over and we will go together one day please.<br /><br />I have the same flowers in my back yard when it comes to: bacon's silver and Wood anemone and also the ones you don't recall there name. We both have a woody garden it seems (I'm right at the edge of the forrest).<br /><br />And thanks my friend for sharing me. You made me smile and feel warm and cozy with your loving care wraped around me.<br />Happy weekend.
