Not all of our azaleas are in full bloom yet, but some of them are. It looks like they are going to have a good year.
Honey decided that Saturday was a good time to put out hummingbird feeders. She heard the first bird buzzing behind her as she was hanging the first feeder out, and it was eating before she got back to the house.
So far, we haven’t seen more than two hummers at one time, and in typical hummingbird fashion, they have been chasing each other away from the feeder. Migrating birds get more cooperative, but when the feeding pressure isn’t on they would rather fight than eat.
Our largest saucer magnolia had about half of its blooms open when we had the ice storm three weeks ago. Those blooms didn’t fall off, but they turned brown.
The buds that weren’t open on the 4th did open normally over the next week and we had a tree covered in live and dead blossoms – just about equal parts of lavender/pink and brown. All of the pink blossoms have now faded and dropped their petals, but the brown ones are still there.
Probably a moral in that somewhere, but I don’t know what it might be.
