Signs that we're into the second stage of spring: dandelions, leaves coming out behind the flowers, blossom buds on our cherry tree (which usually opens weeks after the small pink type of cherry blossoms), opening red buds on the maple-like ornamental bush.

A small green leaf starting to emerge in a sea of yellow catkin like flowers.

A bright yellow dandelion flower still opening in the morning sun so the centre is still a bit ball-like.

It *looks* like the sphagnum moss that was overwintered outside with this Darlingtonia Californica (Cobra Lily) is starting to wake up from dormancy (the Darlingtonia itself will still be a bit until it starts growing again). It was in a portable greenhouse on the balcony all winter (Zone 7b, DE) until a few days ago. I was worried that it would die off over the winter but it looks much better than my indoor-grown moss.

Checking in on the bog that I replanted on the 16th with a digital magnifier to see how it is settling in. Seems like it's doing okay (most sundew traps are progressing except for a couple and the Venus Flytrap seeds seem to have set). Some moss has burnt tips like it did in the old container and not sure if it's the lighting, dry conditions or something else yet.

While I was away a new boom arm for my tripod arrived. This makes it a lot simpler to get the camera into position. Today was my first chance to try it out. It really made framing a lot easier. Tho there's a certain amount of backlash in the controls, but I'm getting the hang of it.

Three weeks ago the dwarf daffodils were in flower, now they are starting to finish their bloom, and the larger daffodils are taking over.

Dearest reader,

Please forgive that my #Florespondence has been lacking these past weeks. Spring has finally sprung, and I'm almost overwhelmed for flowers on my balcony to photograph. Have you ever sat next to a rosemary plant and looked at the flowers? The heady aroma that brings back every Mediterranean meal you've enjoyed on a summer evening? The delicate flowers are almost orchid like in their structure. Incredibly hard to photograph. But simply exquisite to behold.

Close up on a pair of rosemary flowers. The flowers are white with purple lines. A filament swings over in an arcing curve to place the antha in the perfect position for the pollinating insect visitor. Behind the flowers, the green stems of the plant.
