Quite a few crocuses are now open at Aunt V's. Charlie, with unbounded young dog energy, occasionally knocks a few blooms off.

| Bergenia Cordifolia |
I love the red emerging leaves and stems. The mertensia (Virginia bluebells) and the dicentra spectabilis (bleeding heart) are also springing up with fresh reddish stems that will soon turn green and bloom in blue and pink, respectively--before April showers bring May flowers.

| Yellowed Daffodil stems |
These are yellow daffodils--but they are not yet blooming today. This clump was smothered under leaves. With more than a week in daylight, including some very sunny days, they have not regained their green color. A lesson learned--clean up daff patch in the late fall or before spring, unless you like this bit of faux color in your garden.
I should have made this my April Fool's joke and just labeled them as first daffodils to bloom!!
