Out with the old, in with the new. Top to bottom: - Swelling buds for this coming Spring's bloom on Pinxter Azalea (my side of the creek). - Swelling buds AND open pods (with seeds already dispersed?) on the far side of the creek. More sun = more buds? - Chalk Maple holding last season's leaves until it feels like letting go. Marcescence. It's a thing! #nativeplants
