Springfield Yard Macro – 2
/The cold weather has kept most plants still winterized. Taking a macro view of the situation…
The leaves of the azalea are reddish from repeated blasts of winter temperatures.
The seed pods of the magnolia have been deteriorating all winter on the ground. The seeds are gone but the pods are still fuzzy with chasms of darkness or golden color.
The Queen Anne’s Lace is dried…still holding a wad of seeds at the top of the stalk.
The rose bush has some dried remnants of last season’s flowers….and some new leaves.
The cedars are a little burned from the winter.
The pine was ‘blooming’ and there was also a cone from last year still on the small tree.
One great plant that did have buds – the oak leaf hydrangea. I want to plant one of these bushes at my new house (if it does not already have one).
I’m sure by the next time I am in Springfield there will be a lot more spring growth to see and photograph!
