03 March, 2014 gallery additions
Here we are again, and there's still snow on the ground! I was sure that I'd be out photographing spring flowers by now, but Mother Nature has proven me wrong. There's no real theme to this month's photos. I had a theme, uploaded a batch, and then discovered that I had already put most of those photos in the gallery two years ago. So much for planning! I grabbed some random images to fill in the holes, but the pattern is lost. Still, they're all green things, so hopefully these will help tide us over until spring.In other news, I have a lot of new photographs that I'm going to add, and I'm going to try branching out into plants from other regions. Things may get to a point where this update gets sent out every other day.Keep warm until I upload the next batch of photos!Christopher Lindsey, gallery maintainerThis newsletter is also available (with thumbnails) at http://www.hort.net/gallery/date/2014-03-03/#ml
