April 2, 2012: First garden pictures of the year

The garden doesn't really look impressive yet, but there is A LOT going on. I cleaned off the leaves and mulch two weeks ago, and things are coming up really quickly. I'm including tons of pictures here. The whole garden:

 Blue angel hosta:

 American sweetheart hosta:

 Sum and substance hosta:

 Regal splendor hosta:

 Kimbotan hosta (hard to tell, but it is tiny):

 Mouse ears hosta:

 Heuchera (don't know the name):

 One of my 5 "mystery" hostas from the grab bag:

 Bitsy gold hosta:

 Guacamole hosta:

 Corner of the garden - shows my climbing hydrangia, several ferns, the goat's beard, and the ginger doing well. You can't really see, but 3 of the 5 "mystery hostas" are also coming up in the center section.

 Ligularia:

 Empress Wu hosta (should be BIG!):

 Paul's Glory hosta - doesn't seem to have minded the move last year:

 Several ferns, irish moss, another heuchera, and the first shoots from Hadspen Blue hosta:

 Forget -me-nots:

 Lady's mantle coming up:

 Heuchera caramel:

 View from the street. You can see the Japanese irises, and some other hostas that I don't have names for.
