springtime

Lakeside Chautauqua, located on the Marblehead peninsula in Ottawa County Ohio is home to the rare Lakeside Daisy which typically blooms in early May. It was putting on quite a show.

We are in the midst of our spectacular spring flower show. In spite of the rain and cold, get out and enjoy!

My bulbs have started to emerge from the soil. Is it too early? Are they going to be damaged?

  Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head…Well, no, that is truly Fake News. Yet, upon returning from China to Springtime busting out all over in Ohio, I was mesmerized by the buzzing bees and budding birches; the blending of sweet birch catkins and flowering dogwood bracts above. Welcome to the Show! And right here in the Wayne County ChatScape.

 

  Up first, with a nod to China, is a golden-leaved ‘Ogon’ cultivar of dawnredwood, Metasequoia glyptostroboides.
