May Apple's In Bloom

Found my first Podophyllum peltatum (May Apple) in bloom on April 29.  The trend is continuing with most of our plants blooming early.  If you know of a secret spot for wild orchids you may want to check on them soon as they will probably be in bloom as well.  



Enjoy the rest of the weekend.  The beginning of May is almost upon us! Can you believe it!?  This spring is flying by, and TLC is keeping busy on the home front.  Be sure to check in at our website for some of our great upcoming May events.  

I know I have already mentioned it, but the native plant sale season is upon us.  Delaware Nature Society had some great native plants at their sale; Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, The Brandywine Conservany, and The London Grove Friends Meeting Plant Sale are all around the corner.   We'd be happy to help if you are looking for plant recommendations!
