Burning Bush Color.

10-21-19 SHORT HILLS: We got another 0.5 inches of rain yesterday, maybe the drought is over. Tomorrow we are off to Cape May at the southern tip of NJ. It’s like a thumb sticking out into Delaware Bay and is famous as an R and R spot for migrating birds on their way south now, and on their way north in the spring. There are many acres of wetland and bayshore. Full report to follow.

I did a couple hours of picking up broken branches and picking them off the shrubs after the recent storms. Witch-hazel is just opening here. but already opened in VT. The late bloomers open up earlier there than here, the opposite of the early season bloomers that open here first.

New blooms: witch-hazel.


Nice early color on burning bushes.
