April 11…Apr 25…now May 9. Spring picks up speed and continues to feast our eyes (though I don't ever remember the redbuds, cherry blossoms and dogwoods in bud all at the same time!) Just a quick visual of how far we've come in 4 weeks (my other posts are "And You Thought It Would Never Get Here" on 4/11/14 and "Two Weeks On…Is Spring Here Yet?" on 4/26/14).
The rose is down to business now, just filling out its leaves and getting ready for some later color.

The Liberty Elm is leafing out nicely but slowly. The canopy is getting thicker.

The forsythia is pretty much done (for those of you who use that as a reminder: the forsythia blooms are falling so get your crab grass killer on if you hope it to be effective!).

Big difference in the Viburnum - it has put a lot of energy into those blooms over the past two weeks…

The Weeping Katsura has interesting shaped and colored leaves, especially right now when they are young.

The Sedum is off on a growth spree, already up about 6 inches.

I never got to enjoy the cherry festival this year - the blossoms were so late that the leaves were already opening up, so just a bit of pink in between the new leaves fro this year. I'm disappointed.

And the Maple does its maple thing…leaves out, ready to push out some chlorophyl…
