Last summer's blooms

  

These beautiful roses are near my apartment.

A few years ago I had purple petunias. Then I went back to red geraniums. I wonder what I'll do this summer.

We did learn what this strange bloom is, at the Arboretum...but I've forgotten now.

We were there early in growing season...I'd like to go back and see plants all over that tower.

    ...that is Arum maculatum, the berries are poisonous.

      I'm sorry to say, but we're deep into spring already. Very strange February!

      I just threw caution to the winds...let's enjoy what we have...and the grey winds of winter might not be so inspiring, so then there are the files of zillions of photos! And here it can be below freezing at night, and in the 60s the next day...more days than not in February this year. I keep wondering if this is real spring. The birds think so!
