This is the first spring in the garden for this willow, Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki', and the first chance I've had to appreciate its tiny and gorgeous catkins (the inflorescences formed by clusters of flowers). The foliage will leaf out with soft green, cream, and pink streaks, but I'll be sad to see the catkins go.
Newly blooming (almost forgot!): Camassia leichtlinii, trumpet narcissus 'Mount Hood', Muscari botryoides alba, Muscari aucheri 'Mount Hood' [all my other grape hyacinth varieties were chomped by the *@#&! rabbits before blooming], and Helleborus orientalis.
