One morning, the water lilies began opening to that point when they were smooth round yellow globes. Next to them, the artichokes had matured into scaly green globes.
Now I see nothing but globes growing everywhere in the yard.
Almost all of the fruit, for instance, lacks corners.

You’ve been reading The Daily Bucket,
a nature refuge.
We amicably discuss frogs, animals, weather, climate, soil, plants, waters, and life’s patterns.
Phenology is how we take earth’s pulse.
We discuss what we see in each Bucket.
We value all observations. Please comment about your own natural area, and include photos if possible. We love photos!
To have the Daily Bucket in your Activity Stream, visit Backyard Science’s profile page and click on Follow, and join to write a Bucket of your own observations.
Thanks for reading;
What have you noted in your area or travels? Any blossoming orbs in your yard? Please post your observations and general location in your comments. I’ll check back by lunchtime.
