Nature's Inspiration Movie

http://www.flickspire.com/m/HealthierL433/NaturesInspiration -- Nature's Inspiration Movie: The photographs in this short video are from award-winning photographer, Ken Jenkins, and they are breathtaking. However, this video is much more than beautiful photographs! Peggy Anderson has compiled beautiful quotations from the likes of Emerson, Thoreau, and many others that truly capture the beauty of nature and solitude. Absolute must watch for nature lovers.

Who Are They?

Do any of you know what sort of plant is this? It starts growing like a hosta right after the snow melts.


As you can see from the picture, last year it started growing in March. This year, being so cold, it emerged in April. It then produces these big red flowers on a tall stalk. The flowers look like poppy. Are these some kind of special tulip?



 I forgot the names of these flowers. Can you please remind me? There are lots of them in my front yard. They like little-bit shady, rich, fertile, moist soil.


Though the nights are chilly with temperature in low 40's (Fahrenheit, about 7 degree Centigrade), but spring is here. All the early spring flowers are blossoming. All the trees are with new leaves; dogwood's are blossoming and the yards are filled up with tall, luscious grasses. I no longer have to bring the tomato plants or other seedlings inside the house.

Sorry for all the blurry pictures. It was too sunny outside. Happy Spring Northern-Hemisphereans :-).
