#Spirea

[flowerishness]

Spiraea japonica (Japanese spiraea)

Japanese spirea is in full bloom right now and this bumble bee has it's work cut out. Each tiny flower has five petals and between 25 and 30 long stamens. Any bumble bee looking for a little nectar has to carefully step through a forest of these stamens, picking up plenty of pollen in the process.

Spiraea japonica can grow almost six feet tall (2m) with clusters of these rosy-pink flowers found at the tips of the branches. All in all, a Japanese spirea in full bloom represents a formidable amount of Flower Power. Mind you, I don't think this happy bumble bee is complaining one little bit.

It seems to me that plants aren’t just green this year, but they seem to be glowing green.

Here is another one in my yard, a Spirea. No flowers yet but looking very healthy.

We must be getting just the right amount of rain and sunshine.

"Looks like another week of snow," chirped Florenzia.

"What do you care? It always melts," admonished Bob.

"Yeah... probably before you do."

This game has completely consumed my brain, the adoration I feel for Radiant Tale is unreal, so have a baby Tifalia and the aftermath of her giving Radie a bath!!

Good morning 😃

Checking on things out in the yard this morning. Mowed the grass yesterday and that was like a dinner bell for the Red Robin birds. They were chasing me all over the yard.

Above is a Spirea up front. We are getting just enough rain here and everything looks good.

Have a great Tuesday, or at least pretty good. Yeah, I know, it’s only Tuesday 😜
