his week finds the common daffodil in full swing, where, in the same spot this time last week, there was but one.
Just getting started is this little gem, a veronica, Veronica umbrosa ‘Georgia Blue,’ discovered in the Republic of Georgia in 1979, according to my sources.
Not 
anything like what you might expect, if you have ever had the more traditional veronica varieties with their striking blue spikes in early summer. This one hugs the ground at no more than an inch tall with so many half-inch blooms at its peak that you cannot see the foliage beneath. This early in the season, only a few of the blue blossoms are open, but you can see the potential in the many tight buds surrounding them. In the winter the foliage turns a deep purple/brown-ish-ness—well sort-a.
Have a good week end and blessed Lord’s day.
