Click to enlarge photos. The hairs on the morning glories are lovely as is the dew.
The Coxes lived in Maryland for a short time after Uncle Olin had been called back into service; in their yard they had dozens of Lycoris lilies which are not reliably hardy in Michigan. I planted several bulbs about 30 years ago and this is the first time any have flowered. Climate change? Michigan is becoming more like Maryland. This one plant reminds me of the Coxes and their marvelous country home with the hidden stairs. We rode on a train from Michigan to get there and the ride was a wonderful and memorable experience. There was a dining car and berths. It was so much better in so many ways than driving there.
The Hosta is one I grew from seed several years ago.
Recently someone said that we only take photos of flowers when they are at their peak but even as their flowers start to wilt and fade and we see spent the flowers fall and the leaves get ragged, they are still lovely and we should continue to celebrate them. - Somewhere in that thought is the message that the same thing is true for humans - - and dogs, et cetera.
