Holy Week



"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
 Martin Luther King, Jr.




Pulsatilla vulgaris

Flowers are always going to be a source of strength for me, I love the renewal of spring, when the death and decay of fall and winter, springs forth new life. Nothing lives for ever, but there is something so rewarding in seeing the first shoots pushing out and the new buds fighting through the scales and sheaths.

Anemone apennina 'Petrovac'

The week before easter, some sun breaks and clouds and when the suns out it does feel like spring is hitting pretty good. 

Cheers, 

Mark
