I got this comment from someone named ‘Shy Arb Lover’:

the Arb’s text and photos are far from
canned. They’re good, yes, but not
canned. Check it out.

Good point.

I’ve changed it from:

“The Arb has a web page devoted to spring but alas, it’s canned text/photos”

to:

“The Arb has a web page devoted to spring but alas, the text/photos there are brochure-like, true for all springs, not current for this spring.”

There are leaf buds on the five foot high white lilac bush, too. </p> It is too windy to get a decent photo right now, but our big sugar maple has about a foot of new growth on many of the branches and tiny leaf buds all over.
