Splash - May 2021

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!
