Spring Storms

I spent the time when it was not raining this weekend taking pictures around the yard.  Here are some of them:

Helleborus orientalis

New growth on Tsuga sieboldii, which Wikipedia tells me is 栂 in Japanese.

Camellia truncata

Rosa 'Mamon Cochet'

Reddish new growth on Pieris formosa var. forrestii

My new raised vegetable bed in the back yard.

The hop twining around a cactus.

I thought the Rhododendron burmanicum was not doing so well in my yard, but this year, it's blooming like crazy.

Same goes for Drimys winteri.

Here's an artistic shot of a Rosa 'Crépuscule' bud.

Glossy new green leaf on the persimmon tree, Diospyros kaki, or 柿 for my Japanese readers.

Morgan was ready for her walk.

Tree did some climbing.
