But an odd garden here and there had a golden private hedge , and as a kid they caught my eye , and still do . They are beautiful .

I’m not sure kind of tree this is, but it was covered with white fuzzy flowers last month. It reminded me of the bottlebrush trees from Australia, maybe related 🤔.

And of thy meager store
Two loaves alone to thee are left,
Sell one, and with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.”

An angel, legend has it, took pity on a little shepherd girl who had nothing to give to the Infant Jesus in his manger. The angel handed her a weed, but first transformed it into this beautiful flower of winter… the Christmas rose, Helleborus niger.
