May in April.

4-4-10 SHORT HILLS: Another pair of pretty, warm, sunny days. I am all caught up on fertilizing for now, and it’s time to get back to pruning and trimming.

New blooms: anemone, blood root, clatonia, squill, saucer magnolia.


Blood root. The roots have a red sap. Could that be the source of its name? The petal arrangement is two sets of four petals. The Vinca minor flower next door looks tired.
