First in a series

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Horticulturally, this year is running about three weeks slower than last year. Plants that were in full bloom a year ago are just coming into bud now. Nevertheless, I did find some color yesterday on my first visit to Botanica this year.

You may think that putting dancers in black costumes on a black stage with dim lighting is very dramatic, but for photographers it is a nightmare.

Finally, in October, they began to bloom. Here are a few pictures I took this afternoon.
