Brunsvigia orientalis at Vermont

And here is the compelling reason why you should go for regular walks in nature in your neighbourhood! The flowers, like the sunsets, only last for so long! So go and see the special one in the habitat where you live before it withers. For next year is far away and unknown.

Every bit of vegetation where people can live has something that will flower. Appreciate the little and inconspicuous ones. This will enhance the reward when the rare, the magnificent is spotted. Maybe you still have some local discoveries in store?

And leave them for tomorrow’s stroller; to seed and grow.
