Wha, I have never seen a tri-colored beech. Cool looking, very dramatic. Shirazz like. I still haven't picked our Shirazz up, perhaps next week.

Onewish1, love that Iris Plum Quirky and your Weigela Carnaval and I never really liked them before seeing yours.

I took some shots today, before I did perhaps the dumbest gardening thing I ever have done. It was late in the day, and I was done with major work to build a raised bed and plant the veggie garden, so I was beyond tired, However, I noticed some dead branches in a scrub oak and got busy pruning them. I should have had a ladder, but I pulled down the offending dead branch and started cutting when it suddenly snapped out of my grip and the pruners went flying. Of course I was looking up and the pruners came down, whacking me in the nose and then stabbing me in the arm. My nose was cut across the middle, not badly and I have a punctured and very sore arm. I assume I may get a black eye. Dumb of me for sure. Lucky I didn't get hit in the eyes. And yes, I did go back and finish the pruning.

Today's blooms. Patti
