What's coming up in your yard?

I was surely glad to step out into my woodland bed for the first time in a few days on the 1st day of spring, Thursday morning.
I loved witnessing the first spring for each of the two species of Hepatica I put out last June'ish, americana and acutiloba. The same is true of my first ever trout lilies poking through the leaf litter. Let's see...oh, there's a bunch of sprouts of Shannon Pable's Coreopsis verticillata "Zagreb" that should bring tiny bursts of yellow to my front bed later in the spring, when I move them from my nursing bed they've overwintered in.
Shannon also gave me an Elderberry "stick" she pulled up out of the ground. I jammed it into my nursing bed in October, not a root or shoot on it to be found. Now it's got lots of shoots (and, I infer, roots to boot!), so I've got to move it somewhere for it to take off in a brighter spot.
I am so glad it's spring. What's coming up in your yard?

Hostas starting to poke up, as is the Bee Balm. Some daylilies and later blooming daffodils. The Azaleas are set to go, and I'm hoping there's no more frost. Can't tell if my hardy Banana has made the winter or not, and I'm rarin' to put out the tropicals, Bougainvillea, Hibiscus etc.

I noticed that my celandine (wood) poppy are blooming their little heads off already. Hosta, solomon's seal and astilbe are staring to poke their heads out of the soil. Let's hope we don't have a repeat of last year's late killing frost!

Pheasant eye narcissus, white lunaria, some cream colored tulips and creeping phlox and all those ornamental cabbages & kales. Higher up, azaleas, lorepetulum, the first of the roses, climbing American Beauty, and a very large lilac.
