Walter,
 Spring Beauties are just beginning to open here, and my personal favorite
spring ephemeral, the Bloodroot, has not yet bloomed. A few Trout Lilies are
pushing out their nodding flowers, so things here are progressing, albeit a bit
slower, right on track.

What a great time to walk in the woods...
