Rain, rain, go away!! Got caught in a downpour, but managed to find lots of good Spring vegetables and flowers, so it was worth it.

James Durr's peonies
Stokes, S&SO, Hoeffner, Cherry Lane, and others have gorgeous asparagus. Hoeffner and Gorzynski have RHUBARB. Eckerton has lovely lettuces and other unique greens and Lani and Windfall have beautiful salad and mini-greens.
Stokes lettuce
Fiori di Fenice has tulips, hyacinths, and lilies. Durr has Old fashioned irises, lilies of the valley, peonies, tulips, and flowering branches. Stokes, Phillips, Binder, and Van Houten have flowering plants and sets, and Oak Grove and Binder have lush herb plants. Silver Heights and Oak Grove have many kinds of heirloom tomato plants.
Windfall
Tamarack and others have fiddlehead ferns and Violet Hill, Northshire,  and Mountain Sweet Berry have plenty of ramps.  Bulich has a wide array of tasty looking mushrooms.  Omelet, anyone?  (Quattro's has delicious pheasant eggs and Violet Hill and Windfall have many kinds of chicken eggs.)
