Lenten Rose
Notes A wonderful early flower for our neighboring honeybees.
Notes Lovely, but considered invasive. Does not spread by seed in our area, only by accidentally transplanting bulbs or letting them wash away. Keeping it shouldn’t be a problem if we don’t let it spread.

Notes Gorgeous, and unintrusive in our part shade setting. Not considered invasive in the midwest, but is in some states; see alternative native plants.
