Asparagus
Today I spent some time looking at what was still blooming in the vegetable garden. The squash and pumpkin blooms were bright, huge, and healthy. All of the nightshade family (tomatoes, tomatillos and peppers) were still in bloom. And the vining plants - the cukes and melons, had lots of blossoms. But what especially caught my attention were the delicate blossoms of the asparagus. I don't think I've ever taken the time to notice them before. The bright red berries I've seen regularly - but I've never looked at the blooms themselves. Tiny, delicate, with just barely a hint of color - they're easy to overlook, but worth noticing.
Which of course sets me to wondering what else I may have not noticed that's been right under my nose. Another part of the reason for this year of exploration!
