May 1st means...

spring is really here, especially for those of us in the northern climes. It means visiting one's neighbors and catching up on the last few months' news. And it means searching for those first glorious lily of the valley blooms and inhaling deeply.

 Did you know lily of the valley also has variegated foliage?

Cherry blossoms

And how about a little spring green to go with that?
