rocks and birds and herbs

Today is the Vernal Equinox. Yay! for the 1st day of spring, and it was actually warm and sunny and springy. Such a welcome event.

I did some treasure hunting last weekend and got these lovelies...

I'm obsessed with the cover art on this rock book

and this!

a fitting name for the author of an herb book, no?

Still working out the details of my raised bed.....

Mystery plant update:

I had a suggestion from one of my favorite people that it may be a frangipani, but upon closer research, I am not sure that it is. I kind of wish it was, though, because they are so beautiful. I have another feeler out, sent a photo to a friend who has a friend who is a horticulture expert so I may be closing in on it.
