Early Emergence
A study of contrasts, the wild delphinium first emerged from sleep.
It's impossible to grow the nursery delphiniums here, but this brave little guy stands up to the heat.
Picked a couple of seed pods, and sowed them in my garden... Good thing I got them, because they soon had that area covered in sod... YUCK!
Last Spring they came up and bloomed, but my camera died... I'll try to get pictures this year.
I grew this camellia from an acorn...
Neat story, a neighbor came by a garden where I was helping the homeowner, with a pocket full of camellia seed... Asked if we thought they would grow...
I thought they prolly would... The neighbor gifted me with the seed... I took them home and planted them... had a nice crop of camellias come up... I shared them with people and took a dozen (or so) of them up to TN for a visit to the mountains... for a couple of years, before bringing them back to middle GA...

Another hellebore picture... These guys are so pretty... It's still going to be another month before we get the peak bloom...
Fixing to move a tree...
Had a walnut tree come up in someone's garden, they couldn't figure out where they had room for it... but it couldn't stay there...
Also picked up a plum tree... I hope to have tree fruit some day...
