FIRST SIGNS OF SPRING
Firethorn Bush
Take heart - the promise of spring is near. Shrubs begin to swell with red buds in anticipation of warmer temperatures during the late months of winter. I defied winter's grip by clipping a few stems and placing them in water to force blooms indoors. The buds should burst into colorful flowers in about four to five weeks announcing the promise of spring. This is a perfect way to chase away winter blues. The stems I choose are pictured below.
