The crown imperial, Fritillaria imperialis, is a classic in structure, with its hard, thick outer leaves pulled together like a rocket nose cone.Posted by Picasa

Oooh - I've checked almost everything in the yard but the Fritillaria meleagris. I'll have to see if they are poking their noses up yet.

My Dodecatheon are emerging now. I am so relieved because I couldn't tell if I'd killed them or not when they went dormant last summer.
 
Wow, Kasmira... your shooting stars are coming up? You're WAY ahead of me (of course the ground is still half-frozen here, and there's still patchy snow on the ground). I know what you mean about them; I always worry, when they start wilting and dying back in the heat, that they won't come back.
