Daffodils Are Budding Out

They will be blooming soon. 

 

Rescued Shooting Stars

These are a few shooting star starts coming up along the path by the triangle.

Several shooting star plants growing in the rock garden.

This is exciting!

 

Snowdrops Under the Tree Near the Steps.

These are all singles.

Just a little ways from the base of the tree.

This shows the gravel path and the snowdrops. 

 

Snowdrops on the Left Side.

These are singles, later blooming, just to the right of the path.

One lonely snowdrop a little farther from the path.

Hard to see the clump to the right of the path.

It is easy to step on. 

Snowdrops on Right Side of Blue House

These are single snowdrops on the right side of blue house.

Last year I found 2 bunches on that side, only 1 this year so far. 

Arrow into place where blue house was located.

All of these snowdrops are of the double variety. 

Snowdrops in Sample Garden

These snowdrops near the Schmitz entrance opened today. 

Robust and incredibly attractive, Galanthus nivalis 'Flore Pleno' is a double snowdrop, which produces dainty, nodding white flowers with multiple green edged petals.  Slightly fragrant, the fluffy blooms rise atop a foliage of narrow, grayish-green leaves in late winter - early spring

"With full flower" Flore Pleno

These are hard to see in the leaves. 

Deer

Most days I see deer in the Walton's field.

Today these three were together. 

Eagle's Nest in Nisqually.

Last Saturday on our way to Seattle, we saw the Eagle.

On the way back we saw it again. 

Another day - February 11.
