More of what’s blooming at TW HQ.

Spring in the midwest is not a season, it’s a bad magic show.  Lots of filmy scarves and promises – no actual magic.  Until, voila!  Every goddamn trick of nature comes pouring out of the hat at once and one doesn’t know where to look first.  I swear to you, if I hadn’t grabbed my camera this morning – already late for work – to snap these pics, I would have missed half the show by the time I got home from work this evening.

white bleeding heart (the bloodless variety, dedicated to Dick Cheney)

fritillaria - look! it's checkered!

poeticus - best flower name ever

I want to eat these

fiddlehead fern - really can be eaten

Here’s a fiddlehead fern recipe to try, and if you can’t get enough of them in your tummy, you can also knit with them.
