Flowers

Is there anything better than sticking your nose into a lilac blossom and taking a deep breath?

The Rhododendrons aren't quite blossoming. On the right is a fig tree. I cut a stick from a tree in Nice France a few years ago, took it home in my luggage and planted it. It made its first fig last year.

On the right is a hybrid blueberry. They are as tall as a person and blooming like mad.


The buds on the spruce are so green I almost want to take a bite.

  1. Many parts are edible, of the pine tree, I mean.

    Nice photos.

  2. Didn't Yul Brynner say that in a Grape Nuts commercial? No wait, Yul Gibbons.
