I just love this time of year when everything is full of new promise.. another fern unfurling

and the fresh new leaves of one of the more unusual non-yellow flowering Mahonias

Believe it or not this is the leaf of a species of willow.. Salix magnificum if I remember correctly

The leaves of Brunnera 'Jack Frost' the flowers are small insignificant like forget-me -nots .... also blue

I took this at the weekend.. I swear this leaf is 4 inches bigger today. This likes moisture... but not wet...... looks very sad when it dries out
