I love unfurling ferns, Monica (also good to eat :)

Hi Patsi ~ I adore columbine, lots & lots of columbine. I'm double blessed 'cause wild columbine is very prolific at the lake. Your blues are lovely!

Wow!

My Ostrich ferns are finally making it out there. My neighbor shared a few about three years ago. Only one grew last Spring, so she shared a couple more. Yea! :-)

It is all so beautiful. Thank you for making the collages to share.~~Dee
