African Garden + things

Anticipation

Tree Peony OfujinishikiI love April; the weather has warmed up, birds have returned from the South, things are finally sprouting and the inevitable garden disappointments are far in the future.

Erythronium albidumI find I am always happiest when I'm looking forward to something that delights me.

Thalictrum thalictroides 'Rosea' That is my usual state in April, with so many things promising such pleasures.
