Our region does not have too many Spring flowers yet. A few days ago, I went to Sayen Park Botanical Garden, a local park famous for the many weddings that are held there. Most of the flowers were still in hiding. Even Hellebores were still low on the ground, and among the Narcissus, the only blooming flowers were miniature daffodils like Tete-a-Tete and Jetfire.
One the other hand, there were an abundance of clusters of Japanese Andromeda, Pieris Japonica, in long pendulous clusters of red and white. At least that’s what I think they are. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Don’t you wish Botanical Gardens would label their plants? How are we to learn? This time of year is so delicious. Seems we’re all on the lookout for spring’s glory.

You are right, but this park caters only to wedding parties, and they have practically no sign identifying flowers or plants.

Thank you John! Daffodils herald Spring, but where you now are Poppies should take their place?
