This is so beautiful.

Thanks for sharing! 😊

Thank you for your kind offer, and I would love this, but I just found it online. I’m looking forward to trying it!

My kind of recipe too. I’m sowing spinach as soon as the snow melts, so this would be a great meal to try with it. Thanks for sharing.

Was it as delicious as it sounds?

Wow. Great to hear you located it!

Beautiful watercolour ✨

After 1,200 years, cherry blossom record to live on despite Japanese scientist’s death Prof Yasuyuki Aono’s meticulous work charted shifting bloom dates as a marker of climate change

Just learned from a post by Dr. Theresa Crimmins @theresacrimmins.bsky.social acknowledging valuable work done by Dr. Yasuyuki Aono,
that he passed away earlier in 2025. Here’s the good news that his remarkable cherry blossom record-keeping will continue. 🌸

Yes, and we’re so ready for it! 🌷

Very interesting, and great that you keep track. Hope the rufous is not too far behind.

Lucky you, enjoy it!

What a valuable contribution. 🌸

Wonderful sighting, Tracey! 🎉

Lovely expression of appreciation for what you do.

Thank you!

The very hairy flower bud of a native prairie crocus sprouts from the earth before its leaves emerge in early spring

Excited to find the first native prairie crocus buds in my garden today, all dressed in fur to protect them from tonight’s incoming snow.

Nice! 🦋

New one for me too.

You inspire me!

How glorious! 🌸

My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it too.

Beautiful!

Love this stage 💚

Beautiful image! 💜 Lots of fuzzy buds just peeking through the earth here. Can’t wait for the blooms!

Welcome spring!

These native prairie crocus seeds I planted last October are getting some welcome snow from today’s winter storm. When it melts, the moist, chilly soil will be just what they need to sprout this spring. 🌱

Best (and easiest) time to sow your native plants for pollinators is in fall, but there’s still time to successfully germinate your seeds if you set them outdoors in containers this month. Learn how from the free handout on my website.
