Spring in Kirkland

Spring has been exploding all over Kirkland since mid February
Spring tends to be a long season here
rhododendron blooms for months
the colors are so vivid
grocery stores put out plants early in March
downtown planters are beautiful
Magnolias always remind me our the prom put on by our high school junior class
It had something to do with a southern evening
At the Oak Street kitchen table a group of us assembled 
MANY magnolia blossoms out of tissue paper
This is one of my favorite shrubs, piers or lily-of-the-valley shrub. 
It keeps getting more colorful as the seasons progress.
Its leaves are green most of the year. Then the tiny lily of the valley bells appear in early Spring. Then the red leaves appear and last for I forget how long. 

fountains are turned on
