Fresh and beautiful, Brian!
Thank you Tukup. We're having uncommonly dry and warm weather in Washington state for awhile now.
Emerges "early" in the Spring is an understatement. On that date in Nebraska it would have been under several inches of snow 😊 Beautiful little flower Brian, thanks for sharing.
