Saying hi to our Mastodon friends.
Summer and I have our hands full with her pal on this rainy day.
Will get caught up soon.
This daffodil blossom outside our front door is surviving the storm so far.
Take good care.

Cloudy day and soft light, picked a dandelion on my walk. The macro sensor on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is a lot of fun.

It’s #azalea season in #BatonRouge #Louisiana and this time I thought I’d share the white flowering variety. These particular shrubs were formed into a hedge in front of a historical bungalow in the #SpanishTown neighborhood. I figured they would be of interest to #bloomscrolling and #gardening. The key to getting these type of blooms is not to prune in the fall after the buds are set. If you do that you will only see flowers on the inside of the shrub.
Spring is coming in fits and starts this year, but the optimists of the flower world want you to know that THEY BELIEVE

I think we’re at peak bloom on the plum tree-shrub. And it smells so nice, too.
Spring is trying really hard here. #bloomscrolling #Flowers #spring
Claytonia sarmentose, also called spring beauty, is one of the early wildflowers I start looking for each year. The curled stigma is one of its most distinctive features.

Rhododendron 'Nancy Evans' has opened up in the warming weather and is looking wonderful. This rhodie is compact -- ours is about 5 feet tall after 20 years -- and it takes well to being pruned.

Another warm and sunny day. But, after spending some time outside, Kengo retreated to his bedroom (my closet) perhaps to cool down. One more day.
