Lily

This Michigan Lily (Lilium michiganense) usually blooms in mid-July but was looking beautiful in the wild part of Hamilton/Burlington's Royal Botanical Garden yesterday and other reports had it blooming the day before by the Grand River near Paris, Ontario.

Attempt at Spring

In a week or two, with any luck and a bit of sun, this plant will be about 20 centimetres tall and blooming. This emerging plant is Early Meadow-Rue, or (Thalictrum dioicum).

Winter Flower

This Ruby Glow Witch Hazel was found blooming after our January ice storm.
