the new york imports have been green all winter...however in the past two weeks they have turned up the volume and are wasting no time...blooms everywhere you care to look in the beds...
and in those two weeks blooms have opened...been pollinated...lost their petals...and the calyces have begun to close around the ovary in the first step towards berryhood...plant reproductive behaviors are no monochromatic however...
we aren't just talking blooms and berries here...we have stolons all over the beds as well...including this one that is plotting an escape from the bed altogether...joining the daughters that escaped last season around the perimeter of the bed...more as this berries continues to ripen.
