It’s hard to get under the crust of routine and appreciate what you see every day. Photographs help. Yesterday I took several while on my lunch break in Sarah P. Duke Gardens. Even though there are a lot of bulbs, shrubs, and trees due to bloom in the next two months, it is also worthwhile to take notes on what things look like before they flower or berry or exfoliate or do whatever it is that make them "desirable" in someone's garden book. You can grow daylillies because they look good coming out of the ground in March--three months before everyone else notices them.

okay, it looks like I can't spell daylilies and of course anticipatory is a word.
