Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day April 2007
I felt an embarrassment of riches and a little guilty as I ran outside this evening just before dark to put together my list for tomorrow's Bloom Day and take a couple of photos despite the continuing drizzle. Embarrassed for the number of flowering plants and guilty because I feel like I have more than my fair share. Maybe in the heat of midsummer when things slow down here I will be jealous of the midwest and their burst of blooms. However, following the intent (I think!) of Bloom Day I will list it all so we can all continue to discover more about different parts of the world.
