The subject of this month's Gardening Gone Wild Photo Contest is Awakening. I love the concept, as I'm anxiously watching my gardens awake after a harsh winter with over 70 inches of snow. Our annual average is about 18 inches, so we really got hit this year.
I thought this photo perfectly fit the bill. It almost appears if my Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen' is praying for spring, which is exactly what I'm doing right now.
Love it! Wow, 70 vs. 18, that's insane. We, on the other hand, had 0 when we usually get at least a few. Kids were bummed, but after last winter's comparative deluge I was so relieved. Sorry, I shouldn't mention stuff like that to you! Here's to spring, I hope things really take off for you in the next weeks!
