More Spring Reports

When we got here last summer I thought the leaves on these trees in the yard looked like Forsythia, but they were trees, how could they be?
Because they prune them to this bizarre shape, that's how!  I am used to a bushy, multi-stemmed blob, these look like giant yellow lollipops.  Not sure I like them this way.  They are trying to grow in their normal way, shoots coming up out of the ground like crazy.  It is challenging at best to communicate with the gardeners here and you never know when they will show up so I guess I live with lollipops for the time I am here.....not so long.

So pretty!

Lemon lollipop anyone?

Peonies sprouting.

Roses are progressing nicely.

The roses out back are further behind, not as much sun.  

Love, fondly, sincerely,
Zaijian,
Ramona
