Bogturtle's Garden- May 1-10

  A bad choice to divide April into only two sections. So much goes on. The photo, below' was taken yesterday, 4/29. While the Azalea 'Tradition' lines the front walk, the white Azalea 'Delaware White' is up against the front porch and outside the front window, outside the master bedroom.

Asarum europaeum ,I think. And the neatest little ground cover. Maybe some botanist now calls this as part of the Genus Hexastylis, not Asarum.  Epimedium wareleyense, I think. And I am looking forward to this plant increasing. A low growing Epimedium called E. nivea, I think. The snow white flowers are not a common color in the Genus, while there are others.  The Japanese Flowering Quince keeps looking better and b...
