It's HOT at 83f/28c. But the heat brought my first Tiger Swallowtail to the azaleas. Kengo feels the heat in the sun, too.

For #bloomscrolling I wanted to share this #azalea hedge located at the the #BatonRouge Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse. Pollinators love it!

Very warm on this first day of spring, and bumblebees were busy. I also saw a monarch butterfly but it wouldn't stop near me... My Japanese maple leaves, however, give me autumn nostalgia!
Have a good evening and a great weekend, everyone.

It keeps warming up and this weekend may feel a bit too warm...but better than the harsh weather people suffer in some parts of the US. One more day!

The warm temperatures up to two days ago caused the rhododendron x azalea cross to start opening its buds. But today the temperature is below freezing with a dusting of snow on the ground.
