Today we’re visiting with Carla Zambelli Mudry in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
Spring continues in my garden, and now the late daffodils are blooming. This is a poet’s narcissus (Narcissus poeticus, Zones 4–8).
A few late white daffodils bloom in front of the bright green new leaves of Japanese maple (Acer palmatum, Zones 5–9).

Along with the late daffodils, other bulbs are blooming, including this snake’s head fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris, Zones 3–8) with flowers in an unusual checkered pattern.
More clumps of late daffodils bloom around the fox sculpture carved from a dead tree trunk.
Hellebores (Helleborus hybrids, Zones 4–8) have been in bloom for a while, but the dark flowers still look good.
A jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema) pushes up out of the ground, ready to open leaves and flower.
The tree peonies (Paeonia hybrids, Zones 3–8) are all budding and ready to pop, and herbaceous peonies are sending up stalk after stalk, waking up from their winter slumber.
The last of the bulbs I planted in the lawn last fall are blooming, and they’re little hot pink tulips (Tulipa ‘Little Beauty’, Zones 3–8)!
Volunteer Solomon’s seal have popped up at the edge of the woods, and azaleas and rhododendrons are starting their bloom cycles.
