 Happy Monday and happy new week!  Starting off the week with a flower that is already putting up it's leaves for the year.  This is a Surprise Lily after a rain.  The leaves have been coming up for over 2 weeks already.  They started the week after the below zero weather as we were in the 60s then.  It's been yoyoing between normal and cold but nothing crazy like we had.  The leaves die off during the summer and then in late July through August the flowers appear and it is quite the lovely surprise to see them.
