We have Oso Berry, a bushy shrub that grows in the understory of the woods and is the first to leaf out, before the bigger trees overshadow it and take its sunshine. They are beginning to bud already, and though I know they bud early and take a long time to leaf out, it is always fascinating to see the tiny pointy buds - spring will come again.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-84908246685209453982011-01-10T14:23:02.108+00:002011-01-10T14:23:02.108+00:00Gosh, I've never even heard of catkins -- I wo...Gosh, I've never even heard of catkins -- I wonder if we have them around here.
