New blossoms from one of our Bradford pear trees in one of my Mom’s antique vases, taken in our kitchen yesterday.
A feat of magic! I finally grew a fritillaria! I’ve planted so many and they have foiled and failed me each time. But last autumn I was extra careful and now today, at last, I have three coming up! This is a Fritillaria meleagris, aka Snake’s Head Fritillaria or Checkered Daffodil. Delicate and magical, their appearance is helping to soothe the sting of all the plants I lost in the winter snows.
A garden continually reminds one of life’s lessons. This one is HOPE. – g
