I could have posted these earlier this week, but that would have ruined<\/a> a theme<\/a> I have going<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"blue
I featured these last year<\/a>, taken in the same location too – while blue lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis<\/em>) are considered native, I’ve only ever seen them in the NC Botanical Garden. But they’re quite small and appear to have a very brief blooming season, so it’s possible I’ve just never been around them in the wild at the right time.<\/p>\n

It’s still not quite spring season yet, even though a few select things have come into bloom (and the almond tree is leafing out like a champ,) but I figure I’ll throw down some springlike pics right before the snow storm rolls in on Sunday – it’s not supposed to be a serious one, but it’s poorly timed.<\/p>\n

\"small
Okay, granted<\/em>, there’s not a lot of color here, but the white makes the rest stand out, so I’m counting it anyway. Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis<\/em>) blooms early like the lungwort, yet still a bit later than daffodils. They’re much bigger than the lungwort while still being small flowers.<\/p>\n

\"weeping
And back home, of course I had to do some shots of the weeping cherry tree, letting the sky provide most of the color this time. I just missed an opportunity today to photograph a honeybee visiting these flowers, which is the first actual pollinator I’ve found visiting them, but since the tree produces an abundance of little cherries each year, something’s<\/em> doing the trick.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned;<\/strong> if the snowstorm produces anything scenic, I’ll make the attempt to do something with it. But right now I have six minutes to post this before it’s inaccurate, and I’d have to rename this, “Saturday color.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
