Slowly Life Returns
This small pond is just outside our front door. The ice has been out a few weeks, and life is slowly returning.
The small flowering shrub on the left is a Dwarf Fragrant Viburnum (Viburnum farreri ‘Nanum’). Here is a link to a closeup of the Fragrant Viburnum flower: flic.kr/p/9CWjS6
The small yellow flowering plants on the far edge of the pond are Marsh Marigolds (Caltha palustris) just starting to bloom, a widespread perennial native to much of the Northern Hemisphere .
