Clematis blossoms shining in full glory this weekend. This long-lived vine needs to be planted in a hole that goes deep with a handful of lime in the mix. Full sun/cool roots is the order of the day for clematis. My mom planted one in 1976 and it flowers every year reliably.

My favorite plant ripening it's berries for some kid, bird, or parent to walk by and eat. Irrigation water beading up in what is left of the flower at the end of the berry. I've never seen this before.

Yellow dawn redwood absolutely glowing yesterday against a hot cloudless sky. Thought to be extinct, it was discovered about 120 years ago in China, and brought back to Boston for propagation and distribution. Grows tall and strong.

Pink buckeye at the tail end of its magnificent flowering time- very long lasting flowering tree. Native.

Wild white one flowering on Main Street.

Why doesn’t my irrigation head work???
Because some ingenuous insect placed junior inside and sealed the opening, that’s why. The insect world is pretty smart once one begins to look at their life cycles.
