Anemone blanda, Outside Clyde

This afternoon I had the pleasure of visiting with CC of Outside Clyde. I’ve been following his chronicles witnessing the succession of growth and bloom on the resident gardeners’ hillside. This is just my small contribution.

There’s no single vantage from which you can take in the entire hillside at once.

Daffodil Hill

The trails wander and intersect organically, having evolved over three decades of clearing, planting and gardening.

Over the hill, through the woods

The trails are rough, and steep at times. But it pays to stop often and look around, and up, and out.

Daffodil “Rip van Winkle”

Narcissus, cyclamineus tribe

Possibly “King Alfred”

Shelf fungus

Pulmonaria

The threatened thunderstorms never materialized. CC’s site is adjacent, and we hiked along another trail to get there. There was only a sprinkle of rain.

Lichens

Old foundation

Last year’s Goldenrod

Claytonia

A lovely afternoon.
