Day 27: Flower
I’m skipping ahead. We have total cloud cover and rain today and for the foreseeable future (no, it’s not that bad), so a sunflare is not in the making. The only flower I have in bloom is the little white flowers on one of my shrubs, which I hope someone can identify for me.
Throughout the year, this shrub is just green leaves extending from sticks growing out of the ground. In the late winter and early spring, these small white flowers bloom. Any idea what this shrub is called?
Here’s a view from a short distance. The extended rain we’ve received has resulted in the shrub bowing low.
Looks like a peony to me, Jean. I think.
I wouldn’t disagree, except it’s a three to four foot tall bush with a diameter of about four feet. It’s evergreen. (The fault in identification on that area is in my photography, not you.)
The other thought I had was an azalea. They’re evergreen. It’s a bit early for them to be blooming, but you are ahead of us season-wise.
I recognize azalea, and I don’t think these are it, but that’s a closer choice than the peony.
I wonder if it may be a flowering quince.
I don’t know; I thought quince had simple five-petaled flowers.
Could be. I missed that detail.
