There’s a red flowering shrub in my backyard, between two blueberry bushes.  I’ve contemplated moving it, but I waited too long this year.  I’m not absolutely sure why it doesn’t flower all over, but I think it has something to do with pruning.

Memorial Day, 2016.  It’s raining.  It’s a good day to spend some quite time in the garden alone, thinking about planting, pruning, and other things.
