A Nod to Spring

A Nod to Spring
A Nod to Spring

Coming soon to a garden near you...Spring! It's finally happening here after a much colder than normal winter in Central TX (Altho, I can't complain much considering what my northern BP buddies have experienced) - This sunny and very welcomed sight is compliments of Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX.

  It's all relative, so complain all you want! Now we're getting rain to wash off all the piles of snow and create floods! This is really beautiful, BTW!

  This is vivid, and resplendent, and many other words describing it's beauty that now escape me (for it is late in the day). Fantastic work once again, Val! Love this work.
