Outside our apartment we have three flowering trees.
First came forsythia...busting with bright yellow blooms right before Easter.
In May the snowball tree was in full bloom with clusters of white orbs.
And now...in late July the Rose of Sharon takes center stage.
Needless to say, I am facinated with all the flowers and greenery of the South.
What a privilege it is to be in Virginia,
where women "look like cream puffs and get things done like Sherman tanks!"
Certainly, they know "how to cope!"
[Excerpts from Maryln Schwartz' book: A Southern Belle Primer]
Knowing my facination with flowers, a dear friend, Cathy McClanahan,
brought me this "dinner plate dahlia" from her sister's garden.
And this bloom, she tells me, is only a medium sized one!
