Spring 2011 is here!

Classic King Alfred daffodil. It doesn't get any better for color and size. The only hitch is that you must let them die back naturally or they wont produce abundant flowers. They also enjoy plenty of sun. In fact, these were planted behind our property in the woods.  They get no care whatsoever and seem to appreciate the lack of human intervention.
Forsythia is always a colorful harbinger of the Spring awakening. It prefers full sun but will do fine in part shade. It just won't bloom as heavily.
The classic native American Plum in bloom.  It has taken this tree a few years to mature but it is finally blooming heavy this season. This might be the first year it produces fruit.
