yellow, 2

The annual parade of yellow is now unfurling! 

From pale primroses to bold daffodils, fresh leaves and flowers are emerging through crusty patches of last year's leaves and pine bark mulch.

Up in the air, the fragrant bells of Corylopsis are just starting to dangle like fancy earrings.  

In drizzle and fog, yellow glows.

Mahonia bealei has burst into bloom attracting all sorts of pollinating insects.

Wasps, bees, moths and butterflies are bellying up to the glossy Pacific Northwest native for a sip and a dusting.  


Honey bees are in profusion!

It is unusually warm for March, but, being Saturday, I'll gladly take it.

winter weary?

Very soon, 
the garden
will awaken.
