Our May splash is taken in our side yard - a beautiful canopy by a maple tree provides shade for the bright pink azaleas against the house. It's funny, because the kids will ask me what kind of plant this or that is. I didn't realize, Dad, how I was soaking up your random knowledge - this is lariope, this is a spathyofelia. {Spelling was not included in my lessons, sorry.} Plants were very important to my Dad and to his parents - we were always in the garden. I learned what was a weed and what was to be nurtured without even realizing that I was being taught. So, yes, I'll tell you if it's an elm or an oak, thanks to Dad. Happy Spring everyone!
