5/31/12 MORE BLOOMS; AND IT LOOKS LIKE SERFDOM

THE SHADE GARDEN

'LEMON LIGHTS' AZALEA

'HAAGA' RHODODENDRON

'MIS KIM' LILACS

DECORATIVE ONIONS

Thursday, 9:00 AM.  50 degrees F, wind NW, light.  The sky is blue with a few ghostly wisps of white clouds idling by.  The barometer is way up, it should be a pleasant day and things will dry out.
        ‘Lemon Lights’  Azaleas, developed by the University of Minnesota,  and a ‘Haaga’ Rhododendron, developed by the University of Finnland, are blooming in the shade garden in the front yard, and decorative onions, Aliums, in the little herb garden.  An accent hedge of ’Miss Kim’ dwarf lilacs is blooming in the side  yard.
        Bernie Marcus, founder of Home Depot, says that today’s businesses have to worry more about how to serve the government,  rather than how to serve their customers.  It looks like serfdom to me.
