#Rhododendron "Grace Seabrook"
Her majesty is front and center in my garden. She serves as a TRUE bright red lighthouse for all who pass by. She was hybridized about two miles from my home. April 6, 2026

Today’s cherry blossoms.
Little by little, the leaves are starting to stand out.
The cherry blossom viewing season is about to come to an end.

"Cream"
This one lives somewhere in my garden. Maybe this year I can locate and properly identify her. Very embarrassing on my part.

Large and very hairy bee on a purple flower with dark tail section, reddish-orange rump, yellow mid-section and yellowish-grey head and upper thorax
First gorgeous #BumbleBee of the season for me and a definite mood lifter! I think this one is an orange-rumped bumble bee (Bombus melanopygus) which is native to western North America. It is foraging on a garden pansy at the local garden store. #HopeBC #SignsOfSpring #BugSky 🌿
Big Leaf Maple -Acer macrophyllum The 10–15-centimetre (4–6-inch)-long raceme of greenish-yellow flowers appear as the leaves are developing in the spring.

Just one of many marvelous signs of spring.

Spot the difference?
Greater Wood‑rush (Luzula sylvatica) has soft hairs along its leaf margins which are stiff and upright. Our native bluebell (Hyacinthoides non‑scripta) has hairless, soft & floppy leaves that only appear in Spring (wood rush leaves are present all year round). #SignsofSpring

#Rhododendron "Yellow Pippin"
This color is what was once called "uranium yellow", likely because of its resemblance to those old radium clock faces that glowed in the dark.

Great Cherry Tree.
The petals are starting to scatter. This is probably the last chance to see them in bloom.

#Rhododendron "occidentale"

#Rhododendron "September Song"
I always think this one looks good enough to eat (but it is poisonous, so please don't).

#Rhododendron "Wild Affair"
I lost one of these around six years ago due to drought, and neglect. I searched far and wide and finally found a replacement. Last year she bloomed for thew first time!

Took a little stroll downtown this morning looking for the first signs of spring. Hoping we don't get another hard freeze.

Northern Spring Peeper perched on a stick.
Northern Spring Peepers emerge from hibernation in the spring. The Spring Peeper call sounds like a high-pitched “peep”, which is repeated continually. You will likely hear hundreds before you ever see one. Have you heard the peepers where you are?
