Re: [SG] Walk in the garden

Thanks Tim,

The redbud is absolutely my favorite tree! You know spring is finally here
when you see those lovely trees massed with pink blossoms....wonder why
they are called "Red Bud"? Maybe it's the buds that are red....I should be
more observant!

Someone asked how often we "walk our gardens", and I have to admit to so
many per day that I couldn't count them, also. Today, not only are the Red
Buds still blooming (the blooms are in decline now), but I see masses of
pink and blue creeping phlox, rose columbines, white spirea, red hot pokers
sending up spikes, clematis budding, and peony buds making a strong
promise!  Ahhhh, this is what it's all about. :-)
