In my last post I wondered which native plant would be the first bloomer. After 3 years of seeing Thalictrum thalictroides present its little white flower heads first each spring, I should know better. Even though the fauna has arrived (or woken up in the case of the peepers) weeks ago, the world of flora is lagging a bit compared to last year. I am estimating plants are some 14 days behind last year’s schedule. So maybe we’re back to “normal”?

I had only a few plants 3 years ago. With some 10+ plants visible this year, rue anemone is slowly but surely establishing itself in the woodland garden
