5/29/09 EVERYTHING'S BLOOMING AT ONCE




Friday, 8:00 AM. 55 degrees, wind W, moderate. The sky is cloudless, the channel is wrinkled and the barometer predicts sunny skies. The rain eluded us again and I am watering heavily.
Soth Eleventh St. is being repaved, along with a number of other odds and ends street jobs around town, all seem to be going well.
The flowering crabapples, now the lilacs, everything is blooming more or less at once and for long periods of time, due to the cool weather. The shrub in blossom is a nannyberry, Viburnum lantana, this one the variety ‘Mohican’. There are a lot of native and non-native Viburnums, with many cultivars, a very useful landscape genus.
