Today’s post does not have a lot of words because I don’t have a lot of time. There are several obligations to fulfill before leaving for Italy next week. There are also garden chores finish, and most critical, there is sensible suitcase packing to plan for. But, there are also several early spring ephemerals in bloom which will have disappeared by the time I return. So, I at least offer photos of six plants worth seeing and direct anyone interested in a little background about each, including botanical name and a bit of folklore, to look back a year to https://aftereden.blog/2024/03/16/six-on-saturday-16-march-2024/ for rue anemone, sharp-lobed hepatica, bloodroot, and trillium Little Sweet Betsy and to https://aftereden.blog/2024/03/30/six-on-saturday-30-march-2024/ for false garlic and a different toothwort. I also direct readers to  Jim Stephens’ Garden Ruminations, advise reading his always engaging posts, and suggest following links in the comments to discover other notes of gardening interest. Guidelines for joining in this Six on Saturday sharing can be found there as well.
Here, though, are those six photos for this week:
The featured imaged is Rue Anemone.
Wishing you all a pleasant spring.

Ah, rue anemone! I have never seen it before, since it is not native here. Colleagues from Pennsylvania or elsewhere in the East sometimes mention how forests here lack such flowers, as well as Trilliums. Native Trilliums are not much to see, and are visible only briefly.

Anemone oregana is native species of (real) Anemone, but is rare, and apparently not similar to rue anemone or other spring ephemerals of the East.

I love these spring ephemerals. I attended the Native Plant Conference yesterday and this morning at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. The Kaul Wildflower Gardens are magnificent with blood root, rue anemone, golden alexander, green and gold and numerous trillium. The wild plum and wild crapapple are also beginning to bloom.
Enjoy your trip.
