Every day I have been checking on the Beavertail Cactus looking for the first blossom, today was the day. Yesterday afternoon there were only buds, this afternoon the first blossom, and interestingly enough the honey bees were already at work pollinating. The Beavertail is our showiest cactus here at Buckskin Mountain State Park. The plants are loaded with buds this year so it looks like a promising spring season.

Snow here today. Melted but going to be cold tonight! Miss ya. Counting days until you come home!!
ReplyDeleteHey! It worked today. When do you come back to Elkton? People want to know!!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the snow melts? Actually our last day is Monday, then it's a matter of getting over the Siskiyous. We're thinking we should be home by Friday. Will post on our progress.
ReplyDeleteIs yoga on Monday or Tuesday?
ReplyDeleteWow, great shot! I am very envious. Hopefully the Siskiyous will be thawed out by late week. Have a safe trip home!
