Mas Cornus, por favor!
Nice copse of Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas) , which is actually a dogwood in the family cornaceae.
Hellebores
Christmas rose (Hellebores niger), or Lenten Rose (H. orientalis) in Riverside Park, NYC. Still never quite sure, but I'll do my research and update this post.
Bulb rainbow
One of my designs from a year ago. We were quite a bit warmer and more advanced in the bloom season last year.
Daffodils en masse
What a great bulb season we are having so far. Daffodils began blooming in microclimates way back at the beginning of March, and here we are nearly a month later and massed drifts are finally beginning to put on a show in parks. I have yet to see a tulip fully open. Let's hope it stays cool so these beauties stick around for a while.
First cherry
While I've seen many individual blossoms peaking out, this is the first cherry tree (prunus sp.) in full bloom I've seen in 2013. It's rooted and thriving remarkably in a narrow flower bed on West 21st Street in Manhattan.
