“Wish you were here to enjoy walking the trails with me. These are pictures of plants that I would be showing you if we were physically together. Most of the plants I included are currently in bloom, but I also added a few that are in leaf or bud. And I included a shot of Shortia – though it is no longer blooming – just because I like the picture. I took many of these pictures years ago, but each year it’s like seeing the plant for the first time, and I take another picture. I hope that our next walk together is a physical one.” Betty
