  1. Amazing shots. I hadn't seen a pussy willow in years until a couple of weeks ago and now I'm seeing one here. I'm thinking of planting one in the back yard.

  7. they are just as beautiful past their prime as they are in their prime. i just came in from the back yard, we had blessed rain yesterday and this morning the flowers have gone berserk. the first bloom this year on the dwarf poinciana, it was a dead stick a week ago and now has 6 new blooms.

  11. They are pretty even if they've gone to seed...nobody says that I am pretty, but they do say I've gone to seed. That is not very nice.
