I love a good spring rain! - Not my usual kinda video but I've been so busy with yard work that I've not had the time to do my usual plant-research deep-dives for a couple days.
What a beautiful moment! I was reminded of the whistling frogs of Barbados - they go all night and theyβre very soothing https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSusKVnSJ/
Here in the PNW, we have a native flowering red currant that is in bloom right now and the fragrance is delicious! I havenβt seen any forsythia around lately but Iβm sure we have some π»
I love this video - beautiful images of moss! If anyone is left wanting more moss, I highly recommend Robin Wall Kimmererβs first book, Gathering Moss. It is a bit more botanically focused than her more well known book, Braiding Sweetgrass, but similarly full of wonder and connection to our natural world.
