Short-season beauties

During this time of year, there are many flowers with very short seasons, ones that I will see everywhere at the Botanic Garden one week, but will be gone for the year by the next weekend. Here are a few of my favorites that I spotted last weekend:

Lilies of the Valley.

Allium (globe onions). These will be in full bloom by next week.

Colombine. (I always see the signs for this, but never the actual flowers. Caught 'em this year!)
