| Description |
Soon the serviceberries (or one of their million other names (why does it have so many names? (my theory is that it is because if has edible fruit, that fruit has never been commericalized, had pretty flowers (but not so pretty as to be planted widely), was widespread but not abundant))) (clearly my parantheticals have gotten the upper hand here (ach, there I go again)) will bloom, like this Amerlanchier laevis. A solid spring bee plant, visited by many, but never take to the prom by anyo ne bee species. Plant it if you have a lot of shade, or want something lovely pretty much anywhere that supports spring native bees. The berries taste yummy too (perhaps we need to come up with some mystical healing power developed by indigenous shaman (like the goji berry thing) to really get this plant off the ground). OK, I am going to stop the march of the parens now.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See We are resolved into the supreme air, We are made one with what we touch and see, With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair, With our young lives each spring impassioned tree Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change. - Oscar Wilde
