| Buongiorno--beautiful morning at Bindweed |
How can I begin to describe a calm spring morning at Bindweed--this photo goes a long way. But you must use your imagination to add in the scent of lilac, crab apples and choke cherries all in bloom, the air full of bird song--red wing black birds, robins, sparrows and finches--there, that's a bit more like it. I take a deep breath and try to feel it all before picking up my work again.
The temperatures have been unusually high and things are exploding. This week we are harvesting the last row of tulips--it is the row just above the bucket of tulips in the photo. We have yellow, the Impression series in red, pink and salmon, "Spring Green" and the mango delight of "Dordogne". We are cutting the last parrot tulips also, "Red Cap" and "Flaming Parrot".

In addition to tulips we are cutting:

Cerinthe is all about its showy blue-green foliage. The tiny deep violet bells are an accent to the lush jade leaves.
