Here are assorted photos from our Piedmont Park and BotGarden wander today. Lake Clara Meer is in flood; our favorite water’s-edge stroll is under about 15 cm of lake.

These 2016 daffodils are here a year early. Those are brilliant red camellias in the background, but this is their regular time to bloom, or only a bit early.

I love this aggressive moss garden on the shake roof at the Japanese garden.

In one of the “hot houses,” I arrived just after the foggers shut off. Ethereal.

I was a bit surprised to find the honey bees are also around, not just the untimely early flowers.
