Springing up

Observed above grass height are leaves from paperwhite narcissus, Montopolis narcissus, grape hyacinths, anemone, and allium, just within the past day. All bulbs, rhizomes, and tubers are now in the ground. Geraniums and thunbergia are heavy with bloom. Rosemary and thyme show blossoms. Hyacinth bean is blooming, but there are no pods yet. There's a mysterious golden marigold with flowers that look more like yellow calendula than anything else. Milkweed is covered with both flowers (orange ones or yellow ones, according to the variety) and with many, many pods still green. Fig leaves are gone, pecan leaves are half down, pear trees are as colorful as they ever get, but will drop soon. No potted plants have come indoors or even been draped in old sheets yet. Peas, both English and ornamental, are pretty in their young form but are invariably consumed by someone or somebody just as they're about to bloom. Nasturtiums in pots are blooming or showing buds.
