Awake, from sleeping root push forth
To beckon famished apian swarms
‘Tis Spring’s first industry of growth
That bursts from rock as Nature’s host!
(R Weisser 2012)
It’s THAT time of year again. The time when the earth warms enough to force the earliest blooms to open and face the sunlight before the canopy of leaves prohibit them for completing their reproduction cycles.
I often marvel at how delicate and fragile these earliest flowers are. Springtime conditions provide a harsh environment and the plants will only bloom a short time.
And while you may have to narrow your focus and look very closely to see the show, it’s well worth the time and effort to discover what symphonies of life are being orchestrated beneath your feet!
It’s a show that should not be missed!
