A cool almost cold morning in April, grey and sullen, damp.
The March Bank at Winterthur in northern Delaware, one of the 'Diamond States' little known jems. At its peak before most venture into gardens, when the Magnolias and Dogwoods say "It's OK to come out".
Its better this way, one usually has the garden to yourself. Tens of thousands of spring ephemeral bulbs, Chionadoxa, Scilla, Muscari along with a host of native and non-native perennials such as Mertensia and Erythronium, form a tapestry of color carpeting the forest floor.
The canopy comprised of mainly native Oaks, Tulip Poplar, Hickory and the tell tale late season foliage of the Beech.
Moments like this are for sharing. Enjoy the images, plan the visit.
