So Many Plants are Waking Up

 Welcome February, and no matter what that groundhog in Pennsylvania said, spring is definitely making its ways to Boise. My first flower of the season: a dandelion. Incredible! And great food for any insects always waking up.

 This is stonecrop, a sedum, sending up new growth. Many other types of sedum are evergreen.

 Strawberries! Yum.

I found daffodils poking up under leaf litter, along with tulips. Love the pink on these leaves.

Never-Ending Tulips

O-K. I give up. These tulips can stay. I've pulled them out of this garden bed three years in a row. Yet, somehow, bulbs have gone deep to escape the digging. Amazing survivors.

What Happened to My Red Tulips?

A close-up of one of my "red" tulips along the front walkway. They bloomed red the first couple of years, and then morphed into different patterns and lighter colors.

Rogue Tulip

I thought I had pulled all the tulips out of this garden bed....but here's an escapee making a spring showing.
