It was so nice to see the woodland border thriving, in spring guise, returning from the mountains to the Piedmont in the final stages of relocation.
This was a created woodland spot; it was shallow dry grass beneath a water oak when we bought this house. And there was no pathway to the front of house, either.
We put one in ourselves. |

Now the space is full of Christmas ferns, crested iris, bloodroot, pussy-toes, and green and gold - it's a lovely small drought-tolerant woodland patch.

Lonicera sempervirens flowering on the fence nearby |
The bloodroot is reseeding everywhere. Here's a "mama" plant with her babies -- remarkable, seen this afternoon.

I'm delighted to see them flourishing.
They've been a favorite spring wildflower for many years.
