Hidden Lake Gardens, Lenawee County, Michigan May 3, 2013 Thanks for all the comments on the weird white fungus, and especially to those who offered possible ID's.

Hidden Lake Gardens, Lenawee County, Michigan May 3, 2013 Thanks to those faithful commenters who found my May 4 post of 'Three magnolias and a gazebo' and commented even though I was AWOL from the commenters corps yesterday.

D105-2013 Daffodil bud. As of this date, buds are about all you can find in the daffodil line. I think of this as a desperation shot, a cry to Mother Nature to please speed things up a bit. . Ann Arbor, Michigan April 15, 2013
