It’s the end of spring 2020, the covid spring. A season that brings renewal and new life did so again albeit in a dark mask. Nature and man both are shaking loose of long caked mud. Ironically in both cases the mire is humanity itself at its root. Our conditions are of our own making, the ceaseless need to fulfill of our desires without understanding them is our suffering. Still, in such mud there are buds ready bloom. Let’s tend to them and encourage their blossoming as spring will return and the mud will still be here.

Nothing takes me back in time like the fragrance of gardenia blooms. It triggers that little tingling of anticipation like when you know something good is coming your way.

End of round one for Mr. Clean aka Voodoo. This rose grows super tall, blooms 7 to 8 feet off the ground if you let them and the bright orange petals have a slow fade. The heat “froze” this one while in bloom.
