Thanks Ladies, appreciate your comments.
Wasn't so pretty when we moved in Lori, but nothing shy about me when it comes to traipsing through the woods with shovel in hand . It was going to be nice when I was done with it or I was going to die trying...lol. Hubby not to fond of that side of my personality for some strange reason.....,can't figure out why.....?!!!!

hmmm.... it's a riddle, wrapped in a conundrum! We are alike in that regard...so I guess I'm not a good one to ask for an opinion! lol.

What does bullheaded, headstrong, and one track-minded have to do with it anyway....lol. What does he know...????

This is so beautiful! I love how showy these long flowers are without the big leaves.

Yes GT, this is one of those shrubs that bloom and start to leaf out at the same time. It goes from nothing to giving it everything it's got, in a matter of a few weeks.

Thanks Bonkers, it's one of the few Hubby helped me dig up and transplant, so he has a soft spot in his heart for this one too

I found a honeysuckle in the bush when I was looking for ferns! It's great what you can find...recently Claytonia! will have to take a small clump of that it's picky about leaf mould and shade...but I'm going to try it! hmmm....bull headed? lol... stubborn....LOL.... yep!

Yes...I would say that you are probably 2 to 5 years ahead of the present trend...right? by the time everyone else has caught up...you've moved on!!
I posted a pic yesterday of a viburnum trilobum, like i hve in my garden, in the woods...growing and in blossom!!! mine hasn't even leafed out yet! It was a bit of a shock to see so I took a picture for proof!! I was so temped to bring home a raft of wildflower roots...but decided better not.
