From diligent gardener & faithful correspondent Marvel:
We are finally seeing warm Spring weather here in the Willamette Valley. Sunny, clear, high-60s & low-70s — a perfect time to get out there and tempt every speck of pollen to do its worst. Me? Pegging 11 on the allergy scale today.
The ornamental gardens are doing well, with striking colors just waiting for a bit of sunlight to burst into flame. Cases in point: a monster-sized camellia out front has lately offered up its Big Red Bounty — tall enough to catch the evening rays that sneak over a nearby hill.
There’s another giant out back: a big rhody fence between our yard and our neighbor’s. The blooms atop this pink wall are briefly backlight by the climbing morning sun.
And by the front walk, a small, delicately-colored azalea shines bright outside the breakfast room.
