This beautiful barn can be found at Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, IA.
Used partially to house animals for show like a petting zoo, Its upper floor has a large hall for meetings, schooling or weddings.
The white cupola is partially hidden by the branches - old but well kept.
I had the chance to meet up with my old horticultural pal Montague Bergamot as he was doing his daily inspection of the herbaceous borders. So here are a few spring snippets.
For the clinically bored, here's the index.
Clockwise from top left:
Restio tetraphyllum, a really beautiful rush-like plant.
Cornus mas, or Cornelian cherry.
Arum italicum 'Maculatum'.
Euphorbia griffithii Fireglow, its sprouting stems look like posh asparagus, which is a bit of an oxymoron, but don't risk eating it, trust me!
I wonder where this thread will lead........
Iberis sempervirens / Immergrüne Schleifenblume / Schneekissen
seen in my garden

The Aston Norwood Gardens, Upper Hutt, New Zealand. The gardens are named after the place names where the parents of the original owners lived, in Aston, Birmingham and Norwood Green, London respectively.
Taken near Brockenhurst, New Forest a few weeks ago.
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves :))))
Beautiful flowering crabapple trees at the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York. This is one of the weeping varieties, possibly Red Jade.
Home gardeners plant crabapple trees for their gorgeous display of flowers in spring and fruit in the fall. But apple growers will disperse them through an orchard where their natural virility combined with the ability to freely hybridize with conventional apples makes them perfect pollenizers. Growers commonly place one crabapple tree for every six or seven apple trees, Bees and other pollinators then ferry the crabapple pollen to other trees in the orchard.
I appreciate your all of kind comments. Have a great day whenever you see this!

To my surprise I could still find these at the height of 1.200 m above sea level. I thought they were since long gone, but they were still braving the late snow and blooming.
Graseck, near Schildenstein, Bavaria, Germany.
Robert Frost (1915)
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.
And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.
For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil.

Grand Prismatic Spring, located in Midway Geyser Basin, is the park’s largest hot spring. It is approximately 370 feet (112.8 m) in diameter and is over 121 feet (37 m) deep.
This geothermal spring is so large that I could not capture the whole feature from the walkway, even with stitched images. The photos of the entire Grand Prismatic Spring are taken from a vantage point that we managed to miss :-(((.
I do like the up close views, which provide much more detail of the deposits below the surface of the water. I will post more in the coming days.
Hope you are enjoying a lovely October weekend! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
