Hi everyone,

The first signs of Arisaema life are showing in the woodland garden.  Two
big A. triphyllum from Gene Bush are pushing their noses up now.  The loc=al
wild A. triphyllum have not appeared yet.

There may be some life signs from Arum maculatum and from Arum korolkowii
(from Jane McGary) planted last August.

Trillium recurvatum is in full bud, one T. grandifloruym is in bloom with
others not far behind.  Trillium cuneatun, new to my garden last summer, =is
in bloom.  Corydalis solida 'Beth Evans' rosy pink, and C. s. 'George
Baker' brick red, are almost finished blooming.  C. kuznetsovii is still
holding on to its white blooms.  The polyantha/vulgaris primroses are sti=ll
in full bloom, and the Primula cortusoides (new last summer) is starting =to
bloom.
