I like the buds! It's funny, I was just recently out in the garden looking for nice Hosta flowers to photograph, and I was noticing how much I like the buds! If it wasn't raining (again!) I would go take some photos.
Wow Jeff!!! Those are so cool! Thank you for sharing those shots. The gopher statue is cute too!! I think next year I am going to have to look more closely at my buds!
