Getting up close with foxglove. Foxgloves are biennials or short-lived perennials. However, although individual plants may be short-lived, foxglove readily self-sows and multiplies. Foxglove leaves contain digitalis, a potent heart medicine, and are also considered poisonous.

Spring In City Hall Park So glad I went to the Farmers Market.
The lilacs started opening today and the bees came calling.
Radishes At The Farmers Market
Spring Patterns Emerging as theHostas are Unfurling.
Crab Apple Blossoms
One of my favorite signs of spring is crab apple blossoms, especially when they are just starting to bloom, with the white flowers and pink buds. This photo has been awarded the Photo of the Day on Capture My Vermont, for June 5, 2016.
Fragrant Hillside
A hillside full of lily of the valley. I love the pattern these plants formed.
Can you smell the Lilacs? I wish they lasted longer.
Building Fun.
A brick building on lower Main Street. There was just something interesting about the contrast between brick, stone, & glass, with the budding trees, symbols, & words (Vermont, Armory, & Laugh).
