Garden in April




Finally it is feeling like spring now, although the chill in the air still catches one off guard at times.  Tulips are in full bloom at the moment, and fortunately cloudy weather happens to extend their flowering period. 


One of the beautiful members in the garden is forget-me-not. The tiny flowers have a voluminous presence that one can never ignore. The beauty and color that they lent to the garden last year were so impressive that I could never forget about them. In fact, they are one of those that I have anticipated most this year. They did not demand any particular attention or cultivation but sprouted everywhere around the blossoms last year. Skirting along the cement edge of the garden, these small baby-blue flowers soften the barren landscape in early spring. The delight and joy that they produce are certainly beyond their weedy origin and their humble name.
