Musings

I did more plant purging today, which most people call weeding. My focus was poke salad (aka pokeweed, Phytolaca americana), which I discovered have massive, fat roots (which may have another function/name, but they look like roots). Anyway, you can tell how spring is progressing, that the phase we’re in is “emergence of pokeweed.” BTW, the photograph is of Star of Bethlehem.

I’m not a pink person, normally, but I’m grooving on these.

Proof that spring springs forth. Sometimes without motion.

Where’s that portable spot? Rrrgh. Do not confuse with redbuds…which are also in bloom.

These azaleas almost look like a whooshing Rocky Mountain cascade. With stamens.

Found a fruity bloom. Cherry? Plum?

And lotsa pine pollen out there, too.

The sun creates a super-pretty radiance.

Mediocre photo…but I’m liking sunlight better than flash.

Trying flash again, on the azalea display.

Spring twilight. Nothing more to be said. Apologies for the keystoning making the trees tippy.
