Arrived yesterday. Wasn’t sure what was splashing around there, but a pair showed up. About 3-4 weeks early.
More plants emerging: tiniest new Castilleja Miniata (red) Indian paintbrushes, Silk Flower, with one flower open already for a week….tough little bugger, still there after snow and hail, and Fawn lillies. I believe I planted a lot of fawn lillies, although the little shit vole has decided those are OK with him, so we’ll see. They’re definitely not bunched into clumps like the Brodiaea, which also can “self-clump”, so maybe they won’t be as good a target for the vole. Until they get nice and mature, and wham! When oh when will the screech owl ever show up? His splendid new abode awaits him, king of all he surveys.
