Early in February, I came across a bush a block away from my home that I found intriguing.

I returned to that bush several times over the next month and was surprised to see that it hadn’t changed.

Today, when I was walking outside, I was struck by the sight of a bush ahead of me.  I wondered why I had never seen it before.  Then I realized it was the same plant that I had found so intriguing.  But it had REALLY changed.  This is what I saw:

Wow!

And extra WOW!

As soon as I returned home, I called my local nursery to order a Ceanothus “Dark Star” shrub!
