Soon be spring...

or as Shelley put it (better)

The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

It was only as I was "processing" this one that I realised that it looks like a mirror image of itself. I just don't think those flower buds should be there yet, should they???

This plant was originally bought as a variegated variety of pieris, but for some reason best known to itself, one half retains the variegated leaves, but the other is just green. An oddity, but lovely all the same.
