March - did it come in like a lion or a lamb? don't recall but I think it was lamb-like so it will go out like a lion but I don't really think it will. Ides of March coming up on the 15th. I did have one really lousy Ides of March day many years ago. All in all though I am a fan of March. Signs of Spring everywhere but it is very moody weather-wise; one day it is sunny and soft the next it is hailing and chilly.
I wish I could blog the scent of March. It makes me yearn for something. It's nostalgic. These last few cool evenings the smell of cherry blossoms has been so subtlety sweet and powdery - just like their color..
I love my black Hellebore even though it has a colony of aphids which will soon be infesting the roses.
There they are - little green bastards hiding under a petal. I will kill them.
Blue in the garden I love very much. These guys have personality. They are so upright.
Blue, blue, blue...!
Oh my King Edward Flowering Currant~!
My lilac is very tightly clasped. I think it is at least four weeks from blooming. It intrigues me right now, the buds are so dusky.
This is a buttercup..it is a weed. Looks pretty right now but it's days are numbered.
I wish I had some violets - true wild ones. I see them here and there in lawns and parking strips. Every year I plan to dig some up and I have yet to do it. The scent of violets is really impossible to describe.

Hey, those little green aphids need to eat y'know. To you it's a pretty flower. To them it's a square meal. :-)
ReplyDeleteTrue, and lady bugs (lady birds to you) need to eat also ~ I hope they flock to my garden for a feast!
ReplyDeleteTee hee, I love your post about the little green bugs! I have some of them of my coffee tree saplings.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves must be so tasty for them but I wish they would go and nibble on something else!!!
