What a difference a day, and especially two, make at this time of year. Two days ago only the cherry trees had leafed out. Today this site was common.

Yesterday our ninebarks hadn’t leafed out. Today they looked like this.

Two days ago the clematis was inches closer to the ground. Today it looked like this.

The tulip are starting to show buds. The sedum are starting to round out. The daylilies are up 4-6″. The asian lilies are popping up in back. Even the new red asian lilies I planted in front popped up overnight. And a few hostas are starting to come up. Not as many as I’m used to this time of year, and that slightly concerns me. We lost some very healthy full hostas during the 2017-2018 winter and I was at a loss as to what happened. I’m hoping it doesn’t happen again.
But almost all the daylilies are up, including one from last year’s seedlings. And THAT is very exciting.
