Second Look-4-28

I plan to take "A Second Look"  around my yard every week to see what perennials and shrubs are blooming. Here's what I found this week.

Dead nettle (Lamium m. Aureum) in my shade bed. The dark green leaves in the upper left corner are wintergreen or tea-berry. I got this because it reminded me of a favorite chewing gum from my childhood.







Pieris japoinica
 
The only tulip left that the deer haven't eaten.






White dogwood.





Pink dogwood--my favorite of all the trees that bloom in Spring.


The seventh variety of daffodil that we have found. The two small blooms come from the same stem.


Spring Star Flower



Azalea
