But Crocosmia, Darling!

Crocosmia aurea

In the foreground with buds just formed on this infrequent bloomer caught me
by surprise this morning. I'm sure it's needing sunshine, which is at a premium
in this yard. I spent years trying to grow many trees and shade to shade out our
summer's harsh sun and in doing so we have to make sacrifices.

Once this blooms it will show a bright orange, a hot color, which I generally avoid
but this plant holds several memories too.

My garden holds many memories, which is another reason I enjoy tending and
visiting these memories and sometimes I get to share those memories to those
that care to listen, whether politely or with actual interest.
