And surprise orchids! Super late and kinda high altitude bonnet orchid as well as my first midge (background removed in an attempt to get a better ID but I have zero idea lol)

Desperately needed outside time this weekend and honestly the mushrooms delivered
Noticed the first pear blossoms yesterday #florespondence #BloomScrolling
Sugar bush (Rhus ovata). Lakeview Mountains, last Wednesday.

Some guerilla pickwick crocuses close to the road. Sneaky walkers I suspect but it could be squirrels. I did plant some of these types last fall but they aren't blooming in that location yet.
It *looks* like the sphagnum moss that was overwintered outside with this Darlingtonia Californica (Cobra Lily) is starting to wake up from dormancy (the Darlingtonia itself will still be a bit until it starts growing again). It was in a portable greenhouse on the balcony all winter (Zone 7b, DE) until a few days ago. I was worried that it would die off over the winter but it looks much better than my indoor-grown moss.

Checking in on the bog that I replanted on the 16th with a digital magnifier to see how it is settling in. Seems like it's doing okay (most sundew traps are progressing except for a couple and the Venus Flytrap seeds seem to have set). Some moss has burnt tips like it did in the old container and not sure if it's the lighting, dry conditions or something else yet.
