Well, after being laid low by an old war injury er…a back muscle spasm for a few days last week, and a quick Easter trip over to Vancouver Island, I finally got back to Green Timbers Park again.

I was particularly interested in how the Lily of the Valley was doing. Its small flower spikes have been present for some time, and the canopy above them is starting to close up with alder and cottonwood leaves. I was worried that I had missed the flowers, but no so. They are clearly on the verge of opening up, but, as luck would have it, it looks like they’ll need a few more days.
