4-27-09 SHORT HILLS: It was 93° in Newark yesterday, a new record high temperature, the second day in a row. I started the sprinklers yesterday, tested them, unclogged four clogged sprinkler heads, pruned shrubs that were blocking two others, and set it to run last night, but not in the swampy area of the yard.
New blooms: mertensia.
Mertensia virginica, virginia bluebell.
Here's another, I love back-lighted flowers. You can count five pollen-laden stamen and one long pistil, like a clapper, in each bell. The unopened bells are pinkish, turning to light blue on opening.
