The Joy of Spring

Take time to go and look closely at the plants in your garden or your nearest park.

Look closely at those plants that look just like dead branches. I mean get up really close to them and look for signs of green buds on the ends of the branches.

What you will find is the amazing transition from a twig to a leaf or a flower.

Walking the valleys and hills around Mui Wo we were amazed by the variety of the blossom and flowers that are emerging at the moment.

Spring reminds me that you can not judge a plant by its looks at one time of the year and expect to know all its glory. That twig can later provide you with wonderful fruits!
