Flower Fountains
They splashed all over the place. Creamy gushes of flowers burst out of the evergreen shrub on the corner.
Top of the Things I get to do today will be to learn the name of this brave spring beauty.
But for now I'll let its elegance wash over me, wetting (whetting) my appetite for more flowers, more sun, more oceans of beauty, while I notice the tiny flowers also remind me of barnacles.
From the foggy past, I'm hearing the name Andromeda.

Glad you noticed, Little One. I'm feeling that from them as well.
DeleteThe tag on my version of the plant says "Mountain Fire Pieris" or "Pieris japonica". I just love the little white blossoms and the beauty of the red leaves on the new growth.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Also called Japanese Andromeda. Case closed!
