Things are blooming at Keppers. This wild apple tree was at the edge of Ken's yard when he moved here. Then he made the drive a loop, and kept the small tree. 
Each year it fills the yard with the most heavenly fragrance for about a week. The fruit is tiny, and most years our fall and winter birds feast on it.
The iris have begun to open. They are one of my favorites, and I have several varieties.
About the same time the daisies start.
This faux flox is a fragrant self seeder. The bees and butterflies love it and visit it during sunny weather.
The trilliums have been fading to pink, and are starting to disappear.
And as they fade the fragrant Sweet William
and valerian are just starting.
The classic bleeding heart is here.
This wild columbine is at the edge of the woods near the pig yard.
