Apologies for the posting delay. I had to update my phone. Then ten minutes after the most-of-an-hour that that took, my watch alerted to needing its own update. And now, almost overwhelmingly, I can’t tell any difference from The Old Ways.

Lucky me, I found a penny! Battered, yet I suspect still worth one cent.
Double lucky…I found blooming jonquils. Just a bit too far to lean over and inhale.

Ta-da! First walk in a month. Two big fat miles. At faster than 20-minute miles, so healthy.
I even found the odd flower, and this ready-to-open camellia bud. Interestingly, the flowers were totally white. No pink rims, as you might expect.

Oh, do I hope I can get out and take new photos tomorrow, perhaps find another insect-on-a-bloom.

This is that white ginger (Hedychium coronarium)that isn’t food ginger, although it has a lovely, penetrating floral scent.
I finally paid attention to the after-bloom: the vivid red fruits (or whatever they are technically).

Different place (Idaho). Different season (spring/May). Right energy for our news: we’re boosted!
BTW, The Internets indicate that the geographic origin of the common lilac is in the Balkans. Like me (ish; half, anyway).

These were coming down and coming down and now the back yard is carpeted at least three deep in supple golden leaves.
I found these elsewhere, and particularly liked the scalloped, serrated margins. And the goldenness.

In one of those species naming mysteries, this lovely flower is in the genus Ranunculus, which refers to little frogs.

I’ve noticed these flowers, usually in pinks, around here and there. I finally looked them up: Mandevilla is the genus.
And now you know.
