Plants I'm growing: First Blooms--Coreopsis (2010)

The first Coreopsis bloom of 2010 opened this morning, looking rather cheerful in the gloom and rain. Coreopsis bloomed first on May 7 in 2009--giving some indication of how much the unusually cool, wet weather this year has retarded flowering of at least some plants in the garden. A year according to Coreopsis was 385 days.
