Wednesday’s Photos
Budding of some Selected Bushes in April
This is going to be a research project on the budding development of some of the bushes in our backyard. Every week for four weeks in a row, I will take pictures of the same buds, which I have clearly marked with a red ribbon. Each week when I publish a new set of pictures, I will stack them on top of the displays of the previous weeks to allow the viewer an opportunity to follow the magical development of the budding process we enjoy every spring. Enjoy. P.S. It is not too late to start your own research process in your neck of the woods.

What a great idea, Peter! I’ve seen the plants budding in our yard as well, which is always uplifting. It’s be interesting to see how yours look in next week’s photos.

You need good eyes to detect a difference, since we had a couple of very cold days, Des.

I am looking forward to your series!
I am doing that with my rhododendrons this year. I took the first round of photos last week. They have developed very differently.

I just checked the progress over last week. There hasn’t been much development, since we had a couple of cold days.

What a clever idea, Peter. I’m especially interested in watching that lilac. You’d better be careful — once that fragrance starts spreading, I might just sneak over there and pick a bouquet!

Well, if you can travel that far under the corona virus restrictions, you can come any time. But be warned, the lilac bush will need another month to show its splendour.

By that time, we’ll hope the restrictions are over! I did notice some gardenias blooming here today, and that surprised me a good bit. Their fragrance is almost as nice.

That’s such a splendid idea, Peter. I can’t wait to see how your buds are going to sprout into the blooming. Stay safe and healthy my friend.

Right now they are evolving slowly, as the nights are still very cold. Thank you, Cornelia, and stay safe!

Hello Peter.
Your idea is great! I do love it. I love the photo showing a Goose ready for take-off. Its Wong are fantastic.
Stay safe and healthy.

Love these buds. My fave is magnolia one. So fuzzy, must be pleasant to touch.

There was not much progress with the buds, as we had quite a few very cold days. Thank you, Luda!
