Mowing will be my tomorrow, for I dare not miss a week until about June, it grows so fast! We have wild garlic in all the planting beds, which fortunately keep to open soil. I've been on a mission to pull them up, bulbs barely 1/2", while the soil is evenly moist to reduce the regrowth next year. There is at least a week without rain coming up (!), so I'll be busy with them also. Oh, and a trip to a local nursery to grab another Pacific Ninebark to shade the rock garden out front, and hopefully a Rhythmic Blue hydrangea to hang out with the ferns in back.
@Allamanda Yes, I found that book early in college, and was entranced! Gave me a whole new appreciation for the nature I'd always valued, but since then in a more deliberate manner.
I have my granddaughter visiting tonight, she's almost 2.5 years old. We went for a walk and she was fascinated by the flowering trees. So I got her up close and personal with them, and she plucked a petal off a flower. She was fascinated by it! It is so cool to watch them learn.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
