Be Ye Glad!
I saw these Glads and was reminded of this song.

Hothouse
Hydrangeas in the Rain
Think Pink
Dawn Redwood
Someone told me this is a dawn redwood- didn’t expect to see redwoods in Ohio! It is an ornamental, on a tree lawn.
Caged flowers
I took this photo on the way into a Skyline Chili.
Wet Summer
Japanese Andromeda
Hellebore
Most people think of “paper white narcissus” and “forsythia” as Spring flowers.
But in my yard, I have Hellebore.
It likes the wet shade, and blooms prettily, in early Spring.
Finally Spring
It’s starting to look like ( a very wet ) Spring! We have had at least seven more inches of rain than is the norm for Ohio.
This magnolia is outside the office.
Speaking of magnolias, I tried to go to Secrest Arboretum last week, which usually has some amazing magnolias and azaleas. And there I discovered that it had been destroyed, last September, by a tornado. It was strange to discover everything gone, bulldozed, in preparation for new plantings.
But things are on the way to being restored. I wonder what it will look like in another decade, when things are re-established?
I both miss it, and look forward to the future.
And that is Spring.
