So most of the plants that began showing signs of life in April last year are doing so now, but I am still waiting on:

Adiantum pedatum (maidenhair fern) Aruncus dioicus (bride's feathers) Asclepias viridiflora (green comet milkweed) Cardamine concenata (cutleaf toothwort) Cardamine maxima (large toothwort) Claytonia virginica (fairyspuds) Clinopodium vulgare (wild basil) Comptonia peregrina (sweetfern) Echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower) Epilobium cilliatum (fringed willhowherb) Galium boreale (northern bedstraw) Hypericum punctatum (spotted St. John's wort) Lathyrus ochroleucus (cream pea vine) Mertensia paniculata (tall bluebells) Monarda fistulosa (wild bergamot) Pycnanthemum tenufolium (slender mountain mint) Ratibida pinnata (greyheaded coneflower) Solidago nemoralis (grey goldenrod) Symphyotrichum ericoides (white heath aster) Trillium cuneatum (little sweet Betsy) Viola blanda (sweet white violet) Viola canadensis (Canada violet)

And we'll see if any more of the new ones show themselves this month. I suppose I should also track whether it's early in the month, the middle of the month or late in the month.

My friend Vivian and the back drop of Clifton Gorge on the left and a bit of Heath Aster, right, 

Symphyotrichum ericoides

I don’t know how many individuals this is or if it’s just one (usually the case).

the densely compressed cauline leaves on clustered and condensed capitulescence giving it that almost bushy appearance is something not easily forgotten. Although it usually prefers the loamier soils and rarely tolerates alkalinity here is bank of dolostone talus and it seems to be doing well.

Finished pressing my first flower last night. From what research I've done, I'm pretty sure it's a Symphyotrichum ericoides, or frost aster/heath aster. More to come in spring, I hope.
