Some Spring 2011 Image Notes

I planted Violas this year in the front planter. They remind me of my mother’s rose garden that had Violas running amok amongst the thorns; and just at the end of that garden, garlic chives, daily in the salads. Yum.

This fantastic 100’ tree, Cacasian Spruce, is growing in Highland Park, Rochester, NY. This year I caught it in bloom with billions of rose red acorns. Stunning.

Whoever named Crabapples Crabapples never saw one in bloom. This is in Queen’s Park, Toronto, radiant in white uncrabbiness.

A pretty brown standard Poodle relaxing in a field of  miniature blue Violas. Sweet, but don't be fooled. Both are voracious.
