I love this time of year in the garden -- spring in general, but early spring in particular -- when deciduous shrubs start to leaf out again. It's like a magic trick.
 |
| Hydrangea quercifolia -- still has last year's leaves, we had such a mild winter |
 |
| Viburnum trilobum 'Red Wing' |
 |
| Hamamelis x intermedia 'Jelena' -- with its spidery flowers starting to curl up, and the new leaves just starting to emerge |
 |
| Cornus sericea 'Arctic Fire' |
 |
| Spirea japonica 'Magic Carpet' |
 |
| Sambucus nigra 'Black Beauty' |
